From your scent profile
Léonard Balahé Eau de Toilette is a sweet, powdery feminine fragrance that opens with aldehydes, plum and mandarin, moves through a floral heart of ylang-ylang, jasmine and tuberose, and settles on vanilla and sandalwood; it has been discontinued.
Skunky's take: One that never goes out of style; time has not touched it.

PowderyWhat does Balahé (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
The opening is bright and fruity, with aldehydes, plum, mandarin orange and bergamot, while aniseed and coriander add a spicy edge. In the heart, ylang-ylang, jasmine, tuberose and iris build a powdery floral veil. The base of vanilla, sandalwood, musk and civet closes it with a sweet, woody and slightly animal warmth.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. It reads as feminine and classic. Its profile is close to Aubusson Désirade and Emanuel Ungaro Diva.
