What does John Galliano (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
It opens with angelica, aldehydes and bergamot. The heart of iris, violet, rose, lavender and peony builds a powdery floral core. Frankincense, cedar, patchouli, amber and musk settle it onto a woody, oriental and faintly smoky base, while the fruity and sweet sides soften that warmth.
Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Most voters read it as feminine, with some calling it classic or modern.
