CreamyWhat does Paris Florence smell like?
It opens with magnolia and blackcurrant, so a fruity freshness comes first. Heliotrope carries the floral, powdery side in the heart, and sandalwood, Virginia cedar and myrrh settle it onto a woody, lightly spicy base.
Voters find the longevity and sillage good. Most pick spring and fall, with summer not far behind; winter is the least chosen season. Daily wear and the office lead, while evening and night out also get votes. It reads feminine. Its profile is close to Hermès Twilly d'Hermès (Eau de Parfum) and Bvlgari Le Gemme - Calaluna.
