What does Tornade Blonde (Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage both rate as moderate, so it neither disappears quickly nor fills a room. With no season or occasion votes to go on, it can't be tied to one time of year; it is made for women and leans clearly floral and oriental.

It opens with blackcurrant, rhubarb, violet leaf and ambrette for a fruity freshness. The heart brings Brazilian gardenia, Bulgarian rose, jasmine sambac absolute and orange blossom into a creamy, full floral. The base of Australian sandalwood, patchouli and cedarwood grounds it in earthy, woody warmth, with ambergris leaving a soft trail.
