SpicyWhat does L'Eau de Toilette smell like?
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it fits daily wear, leisure and the office best. Nearly half of voters find it feminine.
The top is lemon, orange, sweet pea and peony, with citrus and green accords leading at first. Hyacinth, wisteria and freesia then bring a soft floral heart. White musk and sandalwood settle underneath, leaving a powdery, creamy and slightly woody base. Yves Saint Laurent Paris Premières Roses 2016 and Grès Mythos have a close profile.
