What does Flagrant Délice smell like?

Longevity and sillage are moderate: it stays fairly close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, with winter well behind. It leans towards daily wear, leisure and office days, and is chosen less for evenings and nights. About half of voters read it as feminine.

Bergamot, almond and mandarin orange open it bright and lightly sweet. In the heart, fig, fruity notes and milk soften the scent. Red currant, white musk and tonka bean then settle into a sweet, powdery, faintly woody base.
