What does Noël au Balcon smell like?

It opens with cinnamon, bergamot and pepper, then softens at the heart into rose, orange honey and lily of the valley. The base of cedarwood, vanilla and musk leaves it sweet, fruity and oriental.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick winter and fall, and evening, leisure and night-out wear lead the occasions. Most voters read it as feminine, though it is classed as unisex. Les Senteurs Gourmandes Vanille Noire and MAD Parfumeur Effect have a close profile.
