What does Chaldée (2013) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters call it feminine and classic, with autumn the leading season and spring and winter close behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, yet works for leisure and daily wear too.

The notes carry no top, heart and base split; amber, opoponax, spices and blossoms read together as one whole. Resinous amber and opoponax deepen the sweetness, spices add warmth, and the blossoms sit on a powdery surface, with a faint animal trace behind. Tea Rose Amber and Roma Fiore d'Ambra share a close profile.
