What does Blue Grass (1989) smell like?

It opens with lavender, orange blossom, rose and jasmine, while lily and geranium add a green freshness to the floral cluster. In the heart, vetiver, laurel and clove dry the scent down into something spicy and woody. Sandalwood, Virginia cedar and musk form the base. Chypre and powdery accords give it a classic frame.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, then fall, and daily wear, leisure and office use lead the occasions. Most voters call it feminine and classic. Nina Ricci Farouche and Rabanne Calandre have a close profile.
