What does La Prairie smell like?

The top notes are plum, peach, coriander and mace. In the heart, rose, jasmine, tuberose, cinnamon and carnation lead, with the spice adding a warm edge to the flowers. It dries down on vetiver, sandalwood, vanilla and amber, giving a sweet, resinous and woody base. Chypre and citrus accords keep the structure balanced.

Its longevity is rated very strong, while the sillage stays moderate. The overall rating is high, though few people have voted. It is positioned as a women's fragrance. Joop! Berlin (Eau de Toilette) and Raphaël 4711 Raphaël 4 have a close profile.
