PowderyWhat does Elogio de la Sombra (Perfume) smell like?
Its longevity is good and its sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. With few votes behind these ratings, they give only a rough idea. It reads neither masculine nor feminine and suits anyone.
Iris sits at the top, mimosa in the heart and bergamot in the base. The powdery, floral side is balanced by green, spicy and woody tones, with a citrus freshness running throughout. Rochas Eau de Rochas Fraîche and Monotheme Iris of Tuscany have a close profile.
