What does Coup de Grâce smell like?

The top notes are Damask rose, violet and white lilac, which read as a green, fresh floral bouquet. Vetiver and saffron in the heart add a dry, spicy edge, and amber and sandalwood in the base settle it into a creamy, woody warmth.

Longevity and sillage are rated good, though only a few people have voted. Most voters place it in the evening, leisure and night-out occasions, and it also works for the office. Jo Malone Orris & Sandalwood and Nishane Tuberóza X have a close profile.
