What does 1889 - Moulin Rouge smell like?

It opens with mandarin orange, plum and cinnamon, a fruity sweetness warmed by spice. Absinth and damask rose lead the heart, and fur, iris, patchouli and musk settle into a powdery, leathery, woody base.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, then spring, with summer a small minority. It is chosen mostly for evening and nights out, while daily and office wear come further behind. About half of voters call it feminine, and a good share find it classic. Givenchy Organza Indécence and Givenchy Very Irrésistible L'Intense have a close profile.
