La Plage de Paris

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin rather than filling a room. Voters pick it most for daily wear, leisure and the office, while sport and evenings out trail behind.

The top of bergamot, mandarin orange, juniper berry and blackcurrant is fresh, green and lightly fruity. At the heart, jasmine, freesia, magnolia and rose bring out the floral side. The base of cedarwood, ambergris, labdanum and patchouli adds a woody, sweet, slightly spicy foundation. Sisley Izia La Nuit and Giorgio Armani Eau d'Arômes have a close profile.
