What does Libre L'Eau Nue smell like?

The scent moves in one line from start to finish: the bright, slightly tart citrus of mandarin and bergamot stays present throughout. French lavender adds a clean, green edge, while Morrocan orange blossom brings a floral, sweet and creamy softness.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close to the skin without filling a room. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. Nearly half of voters read it as feminine, and some as modern.
