What does La Baie des Anges smell like?

It is a floral, citrusy fragrance: ylang-ylang and jasmine build a creamy, powdery base, while grapefruit adds a fresh, fruity lift. Vanilla pushes the sweetness towards gourmand, and rhubarb adds a faint spicy edge. A slightly synthetic sheen runs through the accords.

Most voters recommend it for spring and summer, and leisure and daily wear lead the occasions. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters read it as feminine. Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Ylang & Vanille and Kenzo 7:15 AM in Bali have a close profile.
