What does Plus Que Jamais smell like?
It opens with ylang-ylang, neroli and bergamot, bright and floral. In the heart, rose and jasmine lead, joined by green and fruity shades. The base of vanilla, tonka bean and iris sweetens it, leaving a powdery, lightly woody warmth.
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, then spring, and it is worn both for daytime and for evenings. Most see it as feminine and classic.
