What does Bill Blass Classic smell like?

It opens green and bright with galbanum, green mandarin orange and neroli. The heart turns floral, carried by lily of the valley, jasmine, white hyacinth and tuberose. Musk and sandalwood soften the base into a woody footing, while fruity and sweet touches stay in the background.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn not far behind. Daily wear, leisure and the office are the occasions it suits best. Simimi Mémoire d'Anna and Laura Biagiotti Aqua di Roma have a close profile.
