What does Golden Chypre smell like?

Bergamot, orange, cardamom and nutmeg open it citrusy with a light spice. In the heart, geranium, rose, heliotrope, vetiver and patchouli bring the floral and green side forward. The base of labdanum, amber, musk and woods settles it into a warm, woody chypre.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and spring, and business and daily wear lead the occasions, with evening and night out close behind. Most call it feminine, and many also find it classic. Eau de Sisley 2 and Creed Vetiver Geranium have a close profile.
