PowderyWhat does Classique Pin-Up smell like?
It opens with lemon and ginger, fresh and citrusy. In the heart, marshmallow and orange blossom turn it floral and gourmand. Vanilla and ambergris soften the base, and the accords also carry fruity and synthetic tones.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick spring and fall, with summer and winter chosen less often. Night out, evening and daily wear are named about equally. Voters call it feminine, and some find it modern. Jean Paul Gaultier Classique Cabaret and Marbert Woman Pure have a close profile.
