What does Le Temps d'Aimer (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens with green notes, peach and aldehydes, with Brazilian rosewood adding a woody edge. The heart builds a floral body from ylang-ylang, gardenia, jasmine and rose, while orris root and clove push it towards powdery and spicy. In the base, patchouli, leather, oakmoss and civet draw an animalic, earthy chypre character, softened by vanilla and coconut.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the vote count is small, so these ratings are tentative. It is described as a feminine fragrance. Ted Lapidus Vu and Robert Piguet Bandit have a close profile.
