What does Chatte smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, though the vote count is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It is positioned as a feminine scent.

It opens with ylang-ylang, Amalfi lemon and neroli, a bright floral start that bergamot freshens. The heart brings rose, jasmine and iris, with orris root strengthening the powdery feel. The base sets a woody chypre ground of vetiver, sandalwood, patchouli and oakmoss, softened by musk, vanilla and ambergris. Its profile is close to Lanvin Arpège and Rabanne Calandre.
