CreamyWhat does Le Parfum smell like?
Clove and almond open with a spicy, gourmand touch. The heart is a floral bouquet of rose, violet, freesia, lily of the valley, heliotrope and peony. Vanilla, musk and cedarwood settle underneath, leaving a creamy, woody base.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, though spring is not far behind. Votes spread across night out, leisure, evening and office wear. Most read it as feminine. Acqua di Parma Vaniglia and J-Scent Cafe have a close profile.
