What does Dans la Peau smell like?

Dans la Peau gets good marks for both longevity and sillage. Most voters recommend spring and fall, with winter and summer picked less often. Daytime, leisure, evening and night out draw almost equal votes, and some voters also see it as suited to business settings. Most voters read it as feminine.

The scent as a whole is fresh and floral: Chinese jasmine sambac, Grasse jasmine and Chinese magnolia gather around narcissus absolute, with apricot adding a fruity sweetness. Leather and musk settle these flowers onto a creamy, lightly spicy, woody base. Hermès Galop d'Hermès and Ormonde Jayne Gatsby 22 have a close profile.
