What does Nacre Blanche smell like?

It opens bright with tangerine, grapefruit and bergamot, while coriander and petitgrain add a light spiciness. The heart is led by ylang-ylang, jasmine and tuberose, softened by osmanthus. In the base, vanilla, benzoin and sandalwood sweeten the scent, and patchouli and leather bring a smoky, powdery depth.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind, and it is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out. It reads mainly feminine and classic. Jean Paul Gaultier Fragile and Lancôme Trésor L'Absolu de Parfum have a close profile.
