What does L'Inspiratrice smell like?

It opens with freesia, Calabrian bergamot and Comorian ylang-ylang, then moves into a heart of peony and Anatolian rose. The base of Indonesian patchouli, tonka bean, vanilla, Haitian vetiver and white musk sweetens as it dries, settling into a warm, earthy and slightly spicy finish.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, though spring is close behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and is also worn for leisure. Most voters find it feminine and classic. Its profile is close to Dior Midnight Poison (Eau de Parfum) and Rochas Absolu Intense.
