What does Les Frivolités smell like?

It opens with osmanthus, bergamot and pink pepper, then moves into a powdery floral heart of heliotrope and Rosa centifolia absolute. Orris butter, sandalwood, suede and musk settle underneath, giving a creamy, soft base. Fruity and sweet tones are balanced by a touch of spice.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close without overwhelming. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the most chosen occasions. It reads feminine and modern. Esprit Simply You and Loewe 001 Woman Eau de Parfum have a close profile.
