PowderyWhat does Patou Nacre Collection smell like?
It opens with ambrette seed, candied ginger and pear, giving a citrusy, fruity start. In the heart, African orange blossom, rose, jasmine and lemon blossom form a floral bouquet. Orris root and Bourbon vanilla settle it onto a soft, powdery, sweet base.
The overall tone is fresh with a light sweetness and a feminine character. Escada Especially Escada Elixir and Prada Paradoxe (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
