ChypreWhat does Madame de Carven (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters suggest fall and spring, with winter not far behind and summer a minor choice. It leans towards daily wear, nights out and evenings, and also works for the office. Most voters find it feminine and classic.
Ylang-ylang, jasmine and rose form a floral heart, softened by fruity and sweet touches. Patchouli, frankincense and styrax add a spicy, woody depth with a slightly animalic edge.
