What does Park Avenue smell like?

Park Avenue has moderate longevity and moderate sillage. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the occasions named most often. Most voters read its character as feminine.

The top notes are mimosa, chamomile and lemon, with citrus and green accords keeping that part bright. In the heart, paperwhite and rose add a floral softness. The base of musk, ebony and vanilla leaves a powdery, woody and sweet finish. Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Tiaré Mimosa and Oscar de la Renta Rosamor have a close profile.
