What does C for Women smell like?

Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong. Most voters call it feminine, and some call it classic. It suits evenings better than daytime, with business and casual wear a smaller share.

It opens with bergamot, mandarin orange, coriander seed and cognac, bright and lightly spiced. The heart is floral, built on violet, tuberose, rose and jasmine. The base of vanilla, amber, sandalwood and musk sweetens it and leaves it creamy and powdery. Boucheron Boucheron (1988) Eau de Parfum and Lancôme Poême Eau de Parfum have a close profile.
