French Cancan (Eau de Parfum)

Longevity and sillage both rate as strong, though only a small number of votes stand behind those ratings. Most voters pick autumn, winter and spring, with summer well behind. It is chosen about equally for leisure, evenings and nights out, and it also gets votes for business and daytime wear.

The floral and green side dominates: jasmine, rose, iris, violet, lilac and lily of the valley form a powdery, sweet bouquet. Oakmoss, amber and sandalwood lay a leathery, resinous, woody floor beneath it, and patchouli deepens that base. A spicy note adds warmth. La Prairie Life Threads Emerald and Estēe Lauder Knowing have a close profile.
