What does La Favorite smell like?

Ylang-ylang, jasmine sambac absolute and rose form a floral core, with queen-of-the-night adding to it. Vanilla, benzoin and tonka bean sweeten the scent and give it a creamy softness, while white musk keeps it clean and light. Fresh and fruity touches stop the sweetness from turning heavy.

Longevity and sillage are rated as good. Most voters wear it in autumn and spring, on nights out and in the evening. Most find it feminine, though some read it as modern or classic. Montblanc Signature (Eau de Parfum) and Carolina Herrera Good Girl Blush (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
