PowderyWhat does Christian Lacroix (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, with winter not far behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and reads feminine and classic.
It opens fruity and lightly green with freesia, peach and tarragon. In the heart, jasmine, ylang-ylang and lily of the valley build a floral body, while heliotrope adds a soft powdery touch. Vanilla, sandalwood, benzoin and tonka bean settle into a sweet, woody, oriental warmth. M. Micallef Floral and Hervé Léger Hervé Léger have a close profile.
