CreamyWhat does Années Folles smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and spring, with summer and winter chosen less often. It is worn for leisure, evenings and the office, and votes split almost evenly between masculine and feminine.
French thyme, French lavender and nutmeg lead the top. Vetiver and geranium sit in the heart, with patchouli, tonka bean and benzoin in the base. Floral, spicy and earthy touches settle into a woody, creamy warmth.
