What does Parfum Privé smell like?

Clementine brings the citrus, while osmanthus and magnolia carry the floral core, softened by dog rose and orchid. Sandalwood, vetiver and musk leave a woody, lightly powdery warmth underneath. Green and fruity touches keep it airy, with the sweet and spicy side staying in the background.

Most voters pick fall, with winter and spring close behind. It suits daytime and leisure wear, and works for evenings too. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Elizabeth Taylor Diamonds and Sapphires and Guerlain Jardins de Bagatelle have a close profile.
