What does Acte 2 (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with bergamot, mandarin orange, peach and green notes, giving a citrusy, fruity freshness. The heart of mimosa, freesia, rose, iris and jasmine is floral and powdery. Cinnamon, cedar, vanilla and sandalwood settle underneath, adding a spicy, woody warmth.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, with winter getting the fewest votes. Business, daily and leisure wear lead, and it reads feminine and classic to most. Salvador Dali Eau de Dali and Nikos Sculpture (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
