What does Songe à la douceur. C.B. smell like?

The opening is fresh and fruity, with clementine and bergamot brightness met by the dry, faintly spicy edge of carrot seed. At the heart, leather and magnolia take over, so the floral side carries a leathery shadow. The base builds a woody ground of vetiver, cedar and sandalwood, softened by ambroxan and white musk into something powdery and creamy. The overall feel sits between sweet and fresh, with a synthetic sheen. Etat Libre d'Orange Delicious Closet Queen and Zara Vibrant Brown have a close profile.
