ResinousWhat does Parfum Sacré (1990) (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with evening and night-out wear leading the occasions. Voters mostly read it as feminine and classic.
The top opens spicy with pepper, cardamom, clove and cinnamon, while lemon and coriander lighten it slightly. The heart builds a floral body from jasmine, rose and orange blossom. In the base, vanilla, myrrh and amber leave a sweet, powdery, smoky warmth. Caron Parfum Sacré (2013) and Calvin Klein Obsession have a close profile.
