What does L'Âme Sœur smell like?

L'Âme Sœur is rated as lasting well, with moderate sillage. Most voters pick spring and fall, and lean towards evening and night-out wear. Most call it feminine, with a share also finding it classic. Roja Parfums Enslaved and Roja Parfums A Goodnight Kiss have a close profile.

Bergamot and aldehydes brighten the opening. In the heart, May rose, Bulgarian rose otto, Egyptian jasmine and Comorian ylang-ylang form a floral bouquet. The base of vetiver, ambergris and Liatris spicata leaves a sweet, spicy, resinous warmth.
