What does Poetique smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with daily wear, leisure and office the occasions mentioned most. It is seen as feminine and modern.

It opens with rhubarb, lychee, bergamot and nutmeg, bright and fruity. The heart of rose, peony and vanilla turns floral, sweet and powdery. Frankincense, cashmere wood, vetiver and cedarwood give it a woody base. Parfums de Marly Delina (Eau de Parfum) and Câline Elixir Floral have a close profile.
