What does Précieuse Orchidée smell like?

Bergamot and lemon give a bright opening. In the heart, jasmine, orchid and sandalwood add a soft floral and woody layer. The base of ambergris, musk, benzoin and vanilla turns it sweeter, while the gourmand and spicy accords stay in the background.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters lean slightly towards fall and spring, with summer not far behind; it is picked most for daily wear, though night and evening also get votes. Most voters read it as feminine, and some as classic. Rouge Bunny Rouge Chatoyant and Ted Baker Au have a close profile.
