What does Allure (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It is rated strong for longevity and good for sillage. Most voters pick autumn and spring, it carries well into winter, and it sits back in summer. Evening, daily wear and nights out lead, and it works at the office too. Voters mostly read it as feminine and classic.

Mandarin orange and citrus give it a lively, fruity brightness, softened by the floral rose. Vanilla brings sweetness and a creamy texture, while a powdery, lightly spicy oriental warmth and a woody backdrop round it out. The overall impression is clean, sweet and soft. Zara Zara Woman and Chanel Coco Mademoiselle L'Eau Privée have a close profile.
