ChypreWhat does Private Collection (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
It opens with citrus, jasmine and honeysuckle, and the heart of orange blossom, coriander and ylang-ylang softens the florals with a touch of spice. Sandalwood and patchouli settle into a dry, slightly powdery woody base. The overall impression is fresh, green and classic.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick spring and fall, and daily wear, office and evening get similar support. Most see it as feminine and classic. Guerlain Chant d'Arômes and Jean Couturier Coriandre have a close profile.
