ResinousWhat does La Môme smell like?
It opens with May rose, pink pepper and freesia, the pepper adding a slight edge to the flowers. In the heart, violet, damask rose and raspberry come forward, while myrrh brings a resinous depth to the sweetness. The base of musk, opoponax, iris and amber leaves it powdery, warm and oriental.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Most see it as feminine and classic. Guerlain 180 Ans de Créations and Régine's Régine's (1989) have a close profile.
