What does Woman III (2012) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, though spring and summer still draw a fair share of votes. It leans towards daily and office wear, with fewer choosing it for evenings. Most voters read it as feminine, and some call it classic.

It opens with bitter orange, coriander and bergamot, fresh with a slightly sharp edge. Rose and carnation form the floral heart, edged with spice. Patchouli leaves a woody, earthy base. Dior Miss Dior (Extrait de Parfum Original) and Jil Sander Woman Two have a close profile.
