What does Printemps smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate, so it neither dominates a room nor disappears quickly. Voters place it mostly in leisure and business settings, then everyday wear, and a smaller group even picks it for sport.

The scent rests on lemon and lemon vervain, giving a bright, green, citrusy feel. Aldehydes add a slightly synthetic sparkle to that clean air, while musk leaves a soft, powdery base underneath. The floral side stays in the background.
