What does A Scent Florale smell like?

Ylang-ylang, jasmine, rose, hyacinth and peony form a floral bouquet, with galbanum adding a green crispness. Fresh, floral and aquatic accords lead, a fruity and sweet side softens them, and powdery and woody tones stay in the background.

Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. It reads as feminine and has been discontinued. Montale So Flowers and Lalique Amethyst have a close profile.
