What does Giselle (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with ylang-ylang, and a heart of jasmine, freesia and tuberose gives it a floral, garden-like feel. In the base, cinnamon, coconut, caramel, white honey and vanilla turn it sweet, with musk softening the whole. The fresh, fruity and spicy accords stay in the background beneath that gourmand sweetness.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Voters pick it most for fall, spring and winter, with summer far behind. It suits daily wear and leisure best, and also gets votes for evenings and the office. Most voters find it feminine. The Body Shop Ananya (Eau de Toilette) and Benefit Something About Sofia have a close profile.
