What does A Collection smell like?

The opening pairs the bright citrus of bergamot and tangerine with the aquatic feel of marine notes. In the heart, jasmine adds a soft floral touch, while pear and peach bring a fruity, lightly sweet edge. The base of vetiver, cedarwood, musk and amber settles it onto a woody, creamy footing.

Longevity and projection are moderate: noticeable through the day without being dominant. It is marketed as a men's scent, though its fresh, fruity build suits anyone after a light character. Byredo Bal d'Afrique and Jil Sander Sun Men have a close profile.
