What does Frangipane smell like?

The top notes of water hyacinth, violet leaf and orange bring coolness and a light citrus lift. In the heart, ylang-ylang and jasmine bring the floral side forward. In the base, vanilla sweetens, musk softens and vetiver adds a woody footing, while the gourmand and powdery accords round out the warmth.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the small number of votes means these ratings are tentative. It is classed as a women's fragrance. Dior Grand Bal and Chloé SeeByChloé have a close profile.
