What does Femme de Dandy smell like?

Peach and bergamot open fruity and bright. In the heart, water lily, ylang-ylang and freesia lay a floral base, while clove, cinnamon and cardamom add spice. Vetiver and sandalwood give the scent a woody frame, and honey, tonka bean and benzoin sweeten the dry-down into a soft, powdery finish.

Voters rate its longevity as good. Winter, fall and spring draw almost equal votes, with summer a little behind. It is picked most often for leisure, with night out and evening close behind. Rancé 1795 Hélène and Van Cleef & Arpels Rose Velours have a close profile.
