What does Billie smell like?

Flowers form the backbone: ylang-ylang, jasmine, gardenia, frangipani and orange blossom. Bergamot and neroli add a bright lift, while green leaves bring a cool edge. Coconut milk and vanilla make it creamy and lightly sweet, and sandalwood, musk and vetiver leave a soft, powdery base underneath.

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though few people have voted, so those ratings are tentative. It reads as a gentle floral that sits comfortably on men and women alike. Jeanne en Provence Iris & Néroli and Jardin Bohème Jasmin Imperial have a close profile.
