What does Basile (1987) (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters call it feminine, and some call it classic. It is worn in all four seasons, with fall slightly ahead, and night out and evening are the leading occasions.

It opens with bergamot, mandarin orange, peach and aldehydes, giving a fresh, fruity brightness. The heart carries jasmine, tuberose, rose and clove, forming a spicy, powdery floral. In the base vanilla, patchouli and cedar dominate, and the scent dries down sweet and woody. Penhaligon's Eau Sans Pareil and Joop! Berlin have a close profile.
