What does Ma Faute smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are rated as moderate. Most voters place it in spring and fall, with summer close behind, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear, though it also suits the office. It reads as a feminine perfume.
The top opens with bergamot, green notes and floral notes, while rose, lily of the valley and jasmine form a floral bouquet at the heart. In the base, amber, musk and vanilla sweeten the scent and settle it into a creamy, powdery finish. Woody and resinous tones stay in the background.
