What does Ma Dame (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Rose comes first, with pink pepper adding a light spice that runs through the scent. Patchouli, cedarwood and musk build a woody, powdery, slightly oriental base, while the fruity and sweet sides sweeten the floral heart.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Votes are spread almost evenly across the seasons, with spring and fall slightly ahead, and it suits everything from daytime wear to evenings out. Most voters find its character feminine. Hermès Twilly d'Hermès Eau Poivrée and Narciso Rodriguez For Her Fleur Musc have a close profile.
