What does Tamango (1977) (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It wears with good longevity and moderate sillage. Most voters pick spring, with summer and fall close behind, and it suits daily wear and the office best. Most voters read it as feminine, though a fair share call it classic.

It opens fresh with bergamot, spices and green notes. The heart gathers jasmine, lily of the valley, iris, rose and carnation into a powdery floral bouquet. In the base, sandalwood, tonka bean, oakmoss and amber settle it into a warm, woody chypre. Léonard Tamango (2011) and Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche (2003) have a close profile.
