CreamyWhat does Broken Bouquet smell like?
The opening brings lemon zest, green notes and rose absolute, giving it a fresh, green, floral start. In the heart, jasmine absolute, spices and violet add a powdery, spicy touch. The base of caramel, cedar, oud and tonka bean sweetens it and leaves a creamy, woody finish.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, though spring is not far behind. It leans towards leisure, nights out and evenings; most voters read it as feminine, but a fair number find it masculine. Gebauer & Gebauer By Appointment and Rabanne Olympēa Parfum have a close profile.
