What does Fleur de Lalita smell like?

The top is led by May rose, Madonna lily, magnolia absolute and galbanum, so the flowers sit alongside a green edge. Indian ambrette seed forms the heart. In the base, tonka bean, Bourbon vanilla absolute and Mysore sandalwood soften and sweeten the scent, adding a woody warmth.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, office and daytime wear lead the occasions. Nearly half of voters read it as feminine, though it works as a unisex scent. Rancé 1795 Joséphine and Jo Malone Mimosa & Cardamom (Cologne) have a close profile.
