ChypreWhat does Dahlia Noir L'Eau smell like?
Longevity is rated moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. Most voters read it as feminine.
The top notes of neroli and citrus fruits give a light, bright start. Rose carries the heart in a floral direction. In the base, cedar, patchouli and musk add a woody, powdery footing, while green and sweet accents soften the chypre character. Chloé L'Eau de Chloé and Balenciaga L'Eau Rose have a close profile.
