PowderyWhat does Ombre Bleue smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters read it as feminine, with some calling it classic or modern. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, while winter plays a smaller part.
It opens with carnation and orange blossom. The heart gathers jasmine, lily of the valley, white lily and May rose. In the base, honey, styrax and cedarwood sweeten it and settle it onto a woody footing, while aquatic and fruity touches keep it fresh. Its profile is close to Boucheron Place Vendôme and Bvlgari Blv II.
