From your scent profile
Isabey La Route d'Emeraude opens with cinnamon, bergamot and rose, then moves into a floral heart of ylang-ylang, orange blossom, tuberose and jasmine sambac, and is aimed at women.
Skunky's take: That just-out-of-the-shower feeling, clean and fresh.

PowderyWhat does La Route d'Emeraude (2012) smell like?
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and spring, with evening and night out the leading occasions and leisure wear close behind. Most see it as feminine, with some calling it classic or modern.
Bergamot brings freshness and cinnamon adds spice over the rose, before the white flowers take over. The base of benzoin, amber, musk and vanilla closes it sweet, powdery and oriental, with a fruity touch in the background. Solo Tu and Jil Sander Sun have a close profile.
