Skunky's take: I wandered into a flower garden and I am not leaving.
How does it perform?
From 87 community ratings, all out of 10.
Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

ChypreWhat does Chypre Fatal smell like?
White peach opens with a fruity sweetness, rose carries the floral heart, and patchouli and vanilla in the base bring earthy and spicy tones softened by a powdery sweetness.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and its use spreads from daily wear to office and evening. Most see it as feminine and classic. Guerlain Royal Extract III and Dior Midnight Poison Elixir have a close profile.
