What does Milly-la-Forêt smell like?

Mandarin orange opens the scent, and the heart is made of iris, jasmine, neroli and orange blossom. White musk and sandalwood soften the base. Overall it reads fresh, citrusy and green, with a fruity, sweet touch on the floral core and a woody, powdery ground beneath.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin and leaves a light trail. Most voters pick spring and summer, and business and daily wear lead the occasions. The character is feminine. It has been discontinued.
