Léonard by Léonard is a classic-leaning women's fragrance where citrus and green notes open into a floral, powdery, chypre body, and it leans towards evening and night.

What does Léonard (1989) (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter not far behind. Night out and evening wear dominate, and it reads feminine and classic. It has been discontinued. Lanvin Via Lanvin and Hermès Parfum d'Hermès have a close profile.

The top pairs lemon and bergamot with galbanum and aldehydes for a bright, green start, with iris and hyacinth adding a floral edge. The heart is built on rose, ylang-ylang, violet root and lily of the valley. The base settles on oakmoss, sandalwood, amber and musk, giving a woody, resinous, earthy ground.
