What does Silences (1978) (Parfum de Toilette) smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, with winter further behind. It leans towards daily and leisure wear, and office use too. Voters mostly call it feminine and classic.

The opening is fresh, with citrus and green notes softened by orange blossom. The heart turns powdery and floral through iris, rose and jasmine. Moss, cedarwood and musk dry down to a woody, earthy base. Charivari and Clair de Jour have a close profile.
