WoodyWhat does La Belle Otero smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both rated as moderate, though only a few voters have rated them, so those figures are a rough guide. It reads as feminine.
The top opens with fig, pepper, vermouth, neroli and ginger, giving a fresh, fruity and slightly spicy start. The heart holds lavender, musk, violet, buchu and narcissus, where the floral and green side comes through most. Frankincense, iris and sandalwood in the base settle it onto a woody, powdery ground. Florence by Mills Wildly Me and Zara San Francisco have a close profile.
