ChypreWhat does Spectacular (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
It opens with gardenia, peach, aldehydes and bergamot, with green notes adding a fresh edge. In the heart, orris root, rose, jasmine and tuberose build a floral core, softened by benzoin and sandalwood. The base is led by patchouli, vetiver, leather, musk and amber, and the dry-down settles into a spicy, sweet warmth.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick it for evenings and nights out, while daily and office wear come second. Chloé Chloé (1975) and Bob Mackie Mackie have a close profile.
