What does Précieuse / Cologne Précieuse smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both moderate, though only a few votes back that up, so treat the figures as tentative. It reads as light and clean, and it doesn't lean toward masculine or feminine.

Bergamot brings a citrus brightness, basil adds a green, lightly spicy edge, and neroli softens the floral side. Rose oxide gives that floral note a cool, dewy feel, while white musk keeps the whole thing clean and smooth. Jo Malone Basil & Neroli (Cologne) and Guerlain Un Dimanche à la Campagne have a close profile.
