What does Eau Claire des Merveilles smell like?

The top pairs citrus notes with blossoms, while vanilla, aldehydes and amber in the heart make it sweeter. Vetiver, cedar and oakmoss form a woody base. The overall impression is fresh and citrusy, with a powdery, slightly spicy undertone.

Longevity is moderate and sillage is weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn close behind. Daily wear, office and leisure lead, while evening and night out are chosen less often. Half of the voters find it feminine.
