PowderyWhat does Un Amour de Patou (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
It opens bright and airy with aldehydes, green notes, mahogany and bergamot, leaning slightly fruity. The heart builds a floral garden of jasmine, rose and lily of the valley, and the base of musk and sandalwood softens it into a sweet, powdery warmth.
Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate, so it neither overwhelms nor fades away. It suits those who want a light, clean floral for everyday wear. Galimard Pêle-Mêle and Guerlain Muguet 2014 have a close profile.
