What does Field Notes from Paris smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Evening, leisure and night-out wear lead the votes, though daily and office use also get a share, and summer is the least favoured season. Votes for masculine and feminine are nearly even, so it doesn't lean firmly either way.

It starts with orange blossom, bergamot and coriander seed, fresh and lightly floral. Patchouli, tobacco and cedar then build a smoky, earthy centre. Vanilla, leather and tonka bean close it out with sweetness and a powdery warmth. Guerlain Héritage (Eau de Toilette) and Acqua di Parma Zafferano have a close profile.
