What does Poudre de Liberté smell like?

It opens with fresh, fruity and spicy notes alongside candied coconut. In the heart, iris, jasmine, rose and honey come forward, soft and sweet. The base of hay, patchouli, heliotrope, vanilla and ylang-ylang rounds it out with a woody, oriental warmth.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters place it in winter and fall, then spring, and pick it for evenings, nights out and leisure time. Most also read it as feminine and classic. Annayake Tomo Her Intense and Maison Incens Rose Umeii have a close profile.
