What does Gardez-Moi (2013) smell like?

It opens with cyclamen, coriander, tomato leaf and black pepper alongside aldehydes, giving a fresh, green and slightly spicy start. In the heart, lily, gardenia, ylang-ylang and jasmine lead, while mimosa and styrax add a creamy softness. The base sweetens the flowers with oakmoss, musk, raspberry and vanilla, and cedar adds a woody footing.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, with winter the least chosen season. Leisure, night out and evening are the occasions named most, and voters mostly call it feminine and classic. Widian Lily and Régalien Nazen have a close profile.
