PowderyWhat does Sublime (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
It opens fresh with bergamot, mandarin orange and coriander over green notes. The heart builds a floral body of rose, jasmine, lily and ylang-ylang, with orris root adding a powdery softness. The base settles into a woody, sweet and animalic warmth of vetiver, sandalwood, vanilla and oakmoss.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evening and night out lead the occasions. Many find it feminine and classic. Its profile is close to Emanuel Ungaro Diva and Loewe Gala.
