What does Ombre d'Or (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter and summer following. It suits both daytime and evening, with everyday wear and nights out leading.

It begins with a fruity brightness from orange, bergamot and peach, while hyacinth and cyclamen push it towards the floral side. In the heart, rose, jasmine and ylang-ylang dominate, softened by violet and peony. The base of amber, vanilla and sandalwood dries down sweet, powdery and creamy.
