PowderyWhat does Adieu Sagesse (2014) smell like?
Adieu Sagesse has been discontinued. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office lead the occasions. It reads feminine and classic.
The top notes are narcissus, bergamot, rhubarb, lily of the valley and neroli, giving a citrusy, green and fresh start. In the heart, gardenia and tuberose build a creamy floral body, with a touch of sweetness and powder alongside. Musk in the base closes it on a soft footing. Guerlain Jardins de Bagatelle and Memo Paris Corfu have a close profile.
