What does Diane smell like?

The earthy, woody patchouli is balanced by the soft florals of violet and frangipani. Myrrh adds a spicy depth, while musk holds the powdery texture together. Fresh and fruity touches lighten the chypre character.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters lean slightly towards autumn and spring, though it is worn in all four seasons. It suits daily wear and the office best, and most voters read it as feminine.
