PowderyWhat does Les Secrets de Sophie smell like?
The opening is bright and citrusy, with bitter orange, bergamot, petitgrain and neroli. In the heart, ylang-ylang, jasmine, violet and orange blossom form a floral core. The base of vanilla, white musk, frankincense and tonka bean sweetens it and leans powdery, spicy and oriental.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it is chosen most for evenings and nights out. Guerlain Le Bolshoï 2011 Edition Limitée and Chanel Coco Mademoiselle have a close profile.
