PowderyWhat does Essences Insensées (2014) smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick spring, summer and fall, with winter getting fewer votes. It leans towards leisure, evening and daily wear. Voters mostly call it feminine, though it is classed as unisex.
The top pairs pink pepper with violet, giving a spicy, floral freshness. In the heart, mimosa, heliotrope and Rosa centifolia form a soft, powdery bouquet. The base of maté, vanilla and beeswax sweetens it and settles on a woody footing. Fragonard Mimosa (2010) and Jo Malone Mimosa & Cardamom (Cologne) have a close profile.
