What does Délicieuse Histoire smell like?

The opening of pear and melon turns softer at the heart with coconut and mulberry. The base deepens the sweetness with praliné, nuts and tonka bean, while heliotrope and ambergris add a powdery, warm footing. The overall impression is a fruity sweetness with a floral touch.

Most voters pick fall and spring, and daily and leisure wear come first. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Lancôme La Vie est Belle L'Eau de Parfum and ADN Paris Musc Baraka have a close profile.
