From your scent profile
Guy Laroche Clandestine Eau de Toilette is a classic-leaning chypre that sets a floral, fruity core against powdery, resinous and animalic depth, and it suits women most, especially in the evening.
Skunky's take: A night owl's pick; made for evenings out.

What does Clandestine (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
It opens bright and fruity with aldehydes, pineapple, apricot, bergamot and plum. The heart is a dense floral bouquet of honey, iris, Damask rose, jasmine and tuberose. In the base, civet, patchouli, musk and vanilla settle it onto a sweet, warm, faintly animalic ground.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter, and evening and night out lead the occasions. More than half of voters read it as feminine, and a good share call it classic.
