ChypreWhat does Perle de Mousse smell like?
Most voters place it in spring, followed by fall and summer, with winter the least likely season. It leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, and most voters read it as feminine.
It opens with bergamot, pink pepper, ivy and aldehydes, bright and a little sharp. The heart gathers Bulgarian rose, jasmine, gardenia and hawthorn into a floral frame, with clove adding a thin line of spice. The base of ambergris, musk, vanilla and mastic absolute settles it into something resinous and soft. Trussardi Action Donna and Lubin L de Lubin (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
