What does Heures d'Absence (2020) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. It is also picked for the office, while evening and night-out wear get fewer votes. Most voters call it feminine, and some describe it as modern.

As a whole it smells like a fresh, green bouquet: Chinese jasmine sambac, Grasse jasmine, May rose and Provençal mimosa lead. Raspberry adds a fruity sweetness. Ceylonese sandalwood, musk and Peru balsam bring a powdery, creamy softness. Prada Tainted Love and Élisire Érose have a close profile.
