A women's floral and green perfume by Jean Patou, released in 1984. Most often worn in spring and best suited to evenings.
Skunky's take: The floral side leads, it arrives with a bouquet.
How does it perform?
From 52 community ratings, all out of 10.
Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
People close to you notice, nobody gets overwhelmed.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.
