What does Elle L'Aime à la Folie smell like?

The citrus notes start with a fruity freshness, then jasmine and ylang-ylang add a soft floral layer. In the base, sandalwood, amber and myrrh come forward, settling into a woody, creamy and lightly resinous sweetness.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Voters pick all four seasons in similar numbers, with winter slightly ahead, and favour evening and night out, though it also suits daily wear. Elle L'Aime and Lolita Lempicka L L'Aime Édition d'Été have a close profile.
