PowderyWhat does La Petite Robe Noire Ma Robe Velours smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn, spring and winter, with fewer choosing summer. It suits evenings, nights out and leisure, and most see it as feminine and modern.
It opens with mandarin orange, black cherry and bergamot, fruity and bright. Black rose and violet then lead, making it floral and powdery. Tonka bean, patchouli and black tea dry it down warm and gourmand. Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire (Eau de Parfum Couture) and Lancôme La Vie est Belle L'Eau de Parfum share a close profile.
