What does Connemara smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the most chosen settings. More than half of voters read it as feminine, with some calling it classic.

The top notes of lily of the valley, violet and freesia give a green, fresh floral start. In the heart, mimosa, rose and carnation keep the floral line going with a slightly spicy edge. The base of musk, iris and sandalwood settles into a powdery, woody footing, lightly sweetened by peach and vanilla. Elizabeth Taylor Diamonds and Sapphires and Grès Cabaret have a close profile.
