What does Tumulte smell like?
Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by winter and spring, while summer barely features. It suits evenings and nights out best, and also works for daily wear.
It opens with freesia, mandarin orange and rose water, and the heart brings rose, heliotrope and iris. Patchouli, musk and tonka bean soften and sweeten the base, with fruity and spicy touches in the background. It dries down warm, oriental, resinous and slightly animalic. Chanel Coco (Eau de Parfum) and Jimmy Choo Iris Crush have a close profile.
