What does Queen of Life smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind and summer the least chosen. Leisure, daily wear and evening get almost equal weight, and most voters read it as feminine.

Pear and blackcurrant make up a fruity opening. In the heart, jasmine, iris and orange blossom bring a soft floral note. The base of vanilla, praliné, almond and tonka bean turns the scent sweet and gourmand, with patchouli tempering that sweetness slightly. Lancôme La Vie est Belle L'Eau de Parfum and Zara Red Vanilla have a close profile.
