What does Ode à la Joie smell like?
Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate to weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters choose it for leisure and daily wear, with business use not far behind, and some even pick it for sport.
Lime, bergamot and mandarin orange give the opening a bright citrus feel. At the heart, lily, peach and jasmine add a soft, slightly fruity floral note. Cedar and musk set it on a woody base. Cacharel Amor Amor (Eau de Toilette) and Cacharel Promesse Eau Fraîche have a close profile.
