CreamyWhat does Émotion de Frédéric smell like?
The top is bergamot, lemon and mandarin orange; the heart brings iris, jasmine, heliotrope, blackberry and spices. It dries down to vanilla, musk, oakmoss and sandalwood. The overall impression is sweet, powdery, creamy and lightly woody.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with evening and night out leading, though daily and business wear get votes too. Most see it as feminine. Lalique Le Parfum and Joop! Le Bain have a close profile.
