What does Kouros Fraîcheur (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear, though it also works for a night out. It reads masculine and classic.

Bergamot opens bright. In the heart, orange blossom and pineapple add a soft floral and fruity touch. The base of vetiver, ginger, patchouli and amber settles into a spicy, woody floor, with a faint animal edge in the background. Pierre Bourdon La Fin d'un Été and Hackett Essential have a close profile.
