AnimalWhat does Parfum Rare (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it suits evenings and daily wear best, with some votes for the office too.
Oakmoss and patchouli carry the scent, while vetiver and sandalwood lay a woody base. Egyptian jasmine, May rose and Florentine iris bring the floral side, and coriander and Sri Lankan cardamom add spice. Fresh, sweet and slightly leathery touches soften the green frame. Jacomo Cœur de Parfum / Parfum Rare (Eau de Parfum) and Clinique Aromatics Elixir Velvet Sheer Philtre Sensuel have a close profile.
