What does Baiser de Florence smell like?

Jasmine, heliotrope and iris form a powdery, creamy floral heart. Vanilla and musk soften it, while cedar, frankincense and myrrh add a woody, spicy, slightly smoky depth. The overall impression is sweet, warm and resinous.

Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall, winter and spring, with summer well behind. It leans towards evenings and leisure time, though daytime and office wear get votes too. Most voters read it as feminine, though it is classed as unisex.
