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

It opens on orange blossom and jasmine, and the heart of mimosa and jonquil carries the floral line forward with a soft, powdery feel. In the base, vanilla, Mysore sandalwood and benzoin take over, and the scent turns gourmand, spicy and oriental as it sweetens.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Voters pick it most often for leisure, followed by nights out and evenings. It reads as feminine, and its sweet, powdery build sits more easily in cooler weather. Caron Montaigne (2007) and Coty Vanilla Fields share a close profile.
