What does Chicane (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Voters find its longevity strong and its sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It is a women's fragrance with a classic, composed character.

The top brings fruity notes, aldehydes, lemon and bergamot for a fresh start. The heart is a floral blend of May rose, jasmine, carnation, lily of the valley and ylang-ylang. In the base, vetiver, sandalwood, tonka bean and musk, alongside Russian leather and ambreine, carry it to a sweet, powdery, earthy finish.
