What does A Contre-Jour smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though few people have voted, so this impression is tentative. It is classed as a feminine fragrance.

The top holds melon, cyclamen, blackcurrant and hyacinth, while the heart builds a floral body from plum, jasmine, freesia and rose. In the base, cedarwood, amber, iris and sandalwood settle the scent onto a woody, powdery ground and soften the sweetness. Green and spicy tones stay in the background. Borghese Il Bacio and MCM Blue Paradise have a close profile.
