What does Dame de L'Île smell like?

The citrus notes give the opening a fresh edge, and the cotton candy sweetens it almost at once. At the heart, powder, jasmine and rose jam make it floral and fruity. The base of musk, amber and vanilla leaves a creamy, slightly animalic warmth.

Longevity and sillage are rated good, though from a small number of votes. Most voters pick spring and fall, with summer not far behind. It leans towards leisure, business and daily wear, and some also wear it for evenings and nights out.
