What does Farnesiana (2017) (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters suggest spring, followed by autumn and winter, and it is picked more often for leisure, nights out and evenings. Most voters read it as feminine and classic.

Floral and green accords lead, with a sweet, gourmand, powdery creaminess behind them. Mimosa and bergamot sit on top, iris and lily of the valley in the heart; ylang-ylang and vanilla leave a sweet, velvety trail as it settles. There is a spicy touch too. New Notes Latte Mimosa and L'Erbolario Iris have a close profile.
