What does Silences (2004) (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with iris, narcissus absolute and galbanum in a cool, green frame, softened by rose and blackcurrant absolute. Bulgarian rose, pot marigold and lily of the valley carry the floral heart. The base settles on oakmoss, vetiver and sandalwood, giving an earthy, woody and slightly resinous ground.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer, and leisure and daily wear lead, with business use not far behind. Most voters read it as feminine, though many call it classic. Its profile is close to Weil de Weil and Miller Harris Fleurs de Bois.
