What does Essences Insensées (2016) (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, so it makes itself felt rather than staying close to the skin. All four seasons score almost evenly, with spring slightly ahead. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and also works for leisure. Most voters read it as feminine, though it is classed as unisex.
Rose, Rosa centifolia absolute and honey give it a floral sweetness. Red fruits lift that sweetness with a fruity edge, while green and fresh accents keep it from turning heavy. A spicy, woody warmth sits in the background.
