What does Revolution à Versailles smell like?

Voters find both its longevity and its sillage strong, so it tends to stay noticeable on the skin and to carry around the wearer. It is classed as a feminine scent.

The floral accord leads: jasmine, rose and frangipani form a dense bouquet. Mirabelle plum pulls it towards a fruity, sweet tone, while sandalwood adds a woody, powdery base. Spicy, oriental and slightly animal touches give the whole a warm, heavy character. Krizia Spazio Krizia Donna and Guerlain Attrape Cœur have a close profile.
