What does Le Sens du Plaisir smell like?

It opens with neroli, bergamot and angelica, fresh with a slightly bitter edge. Rose and jasmine fill out the floral heart. The base settles into vanilla, ambergris and iris, a warm, powdery and smoky bed with a chypre touch.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the small number of votes makes these figures tentative. It reads feminine, and its dense oriental build suits cooler weather and evenings. Guerlain Shalimar (Eau de Parfum) and Guerlain Eau de Shalimar have a close profile.
