What does Lancaster (Eau de Toilette Concentrée) smell like?

The top notes of lavender, bergamot, coriander and thyme give a fresh, herbal start. In the heart, jasmine, tuberose and mimosa bring out the floral side. The base of sandalwood, vanilla, patchouli and oakmoss lays down a woody, sweet, chypre foundation, with powdery and animal tones in the background.

Voters find the longevity strong and the sillage good. Most pick fall and winter, with evening and daily wear close behind. Most describe the character as feminine and classic. Givenchy Ysatis and Emanuel Ungaro Diva have a close profile.
