What does Le 68 (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Heliotrope and everlasting flower set a floral, powdery base. Benzoin and tonka bean sweeten it into a soft, gourmand feel. Spices and leather add an oriental, faintly leathery warmth, while frankincense rounds out the woody side.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter close behind, and the occasions are spread from evening to daily wear and the office. Most voters find it feminine, though a good number read it as masculine. Van Cleef & Arpels Midnight in Paris and Guerlain Le 68 Le Flacon Tortue have a close profile.
