What does Extravagance d'Amarige (1998) smell like?

The top notes pair violet and pink pepper with citrus blossom, giving a green, lightly spicy freshness. In the heart, woodland strawberry, orange blossom water and jasmine sweeten it, while wisteria softens the floral side. Cedarwood, sandalwood and iris form a woody, slightly powdery base.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and business come up most often. It reads mostly feminine, with some voters calling it classic. Clinique Calyx and Gucci Envy (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
