ChypreWhat does Complice (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
It opens bright and lightly spiced with bergamot, orange blossom, aldehydes and peach. In the heart, lilac, narcissus and rose lead, softened by a powdery iris. The base settles into vetiver, oakmoss, sandalwood and musk, with civet adding a deep, animalic edge.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and spring, and evening and night-out wear get the most votes. It reads clearly feminine. Its profile is close to Le Galion Sortilège and Rabanne Calandre.
