What does Fragrance (Extrait de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage strong, though both ratings rest on only a small number of votes. As a unisex scent, it suits men and women alike.

The aldehydes and ylang-ylang give a bright, slightly green freshness at the start. In the heart, rose, carnation and cedar build a floral body. The base of labdanum, vanilla and iris turns it powdery, creamy and lightly sweet, in a chypre manner. Hermès Calèche Eau Délicate and Hermès Hiris have a close profile.
