What does Cabriole smell like?
The notes read as a single whole: sandalwood lays down a woody, creamy base, while osmanthus and honeysuckle add a light floral layer on top. The fresh accord keeps it from turning heavy, and the powdery texture softens the flowers.
Voters rate both longevity and sillage as weak, so it stays close to the skin, though the number of votes is small and this is only a rough guide. Its quiet character suits men and women alike. Aerin Ikat Jasmine and Penhaligon's The Manoeuvres of the Baroness have a close profile.
