What does Chalain (Extrait de Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Voters pick it mostly for leisure, nights out and evenings, though it also finds a place at work and for daily wear.

Geranium, aromatic notes and citrus notes sketch a fresh frame at the start. In the heart, jasmine, iris and spicy notes add a floral, powdery softness. The base of vanilla, musk and opoponax carries it into a creamy, sweet warmth with a slightly animal edge. Guerlain Shalimar Philtre de Parfum and Robert Piguet Baghari (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
