What does L'Empreinte - La Chimère smell like?

The florals lead: jasmine, freesia and lily of the valley give it a clean, fresh floral character. Amber and musk settle this onto a creamy, powdery base, while the synthetic accord adds a smooth, slightly abstract edge.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin without filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, office and leisure lead the occasions. Most also read it as feminine. Santa Maria Novella Muschio and Montale Roses Musk (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
