What does Thé Amara smell like?

It wears at a moderate strength, with moderate longevity and sillage. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and work are the occasions it suits best. Voters lean towards feminine, though a fair number find it masculine.

The opening pairs bergamot and spearmint with a touch of pink pepper, which adds a light, citrusy sparkle. Rose and sweet pea bring a soft floral heart. The base of cashmeran, white musk and cedar dries down clean and lightly woody.
