What does Putain des Palaces smell like?

The top notes are ginger, mandarin orange and raspberry, so fruit and spice arrive together. In the heart, rose absolute, iris and geranium form a floral, powdery core. The base of musk, tonka bean and sandalwood softens and sweetens it, while the animalic and leathery accords stay in the picture.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters recommend fall and spring, though winter is not far behind. Leisure, night out and evening get about equal votes, and the character reads mostly feminine. Anfas Shaouq and Tom Ford Violet Blonde have a close profile.
