What does Youth-Dew (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

The top holds lavender, jonquil and rose, while spices, jasmine and lily of the valley sit in the heart. The base is vetiver, patchouli and moss. The accords point to a sweet, woody, powdery and resinous scent, with animal, earthy and smoky shades adding weight.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening and night out lead the occasions. Most voters call it feminine or classic. Estēe Lauder Cinnabar (1978) (Eau de Parfum) and Yves Saint Laurent Opium (Secret de Parfum) have a close profile.
