What does Le Nouveau Parfum smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin and leaves a soft trail. With few votes behind these ratings, they are best read as a first impression. Fresh and sweet, it is aimed at women and sits comfortably in everyday wear.

Bergamot, green apple and mandarin orange give it a bright, fruity start. In the heart, white blossoms and plum soften that freshness and add sweetness. The base of vanilla, amber, cedarwood and Peru balsam settles into a powdery, warm finish. Its profile is close to Hugo Boss Boss Orange Sunset and Penhaligon's The Favourite.
