CreamyWhat does 5th Avenue (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
It opens bright with mandarin orange, bergamot, lilac and lily of the valley. The heart is floral, built on jasmine, Bulgarian rose and ylang-ylang, with clove and nutmeg adding a little spice. It dries down creamy and warm on sandalwood, vanilla and amber.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear and the office are the most chosen settings. Most voters read it as feminine, and some call it classic. Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle Iris Poudre and Houbigant Essence Rare have a close profile.
