What does Olène smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is chosen mostly for leisure and daytime use. Its longevity and sillage are rated good, so it makes its presence known without taking over. Most voters read it as feminine, though it is offered as unisex.

The scent is built from jasmine, honeysuckle, wisteria and narcissus. The floral character leads, with a green, fresh air and a touch of sweetness and powdery softness alongside. Goutal Le Chèvrefeuille and Montale Jasmin Full have a close profile.
