What does Mille Feux smell like?

The notes read together rather than in stages: saffron and leather build a spicy, leathery spine, iris adds a powdery softness, osmanthus absolute carries the floral side, and raspberry pulls the scent toward fruity sweetness. The overall impression is fresh, creamy and lightly powdery.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. It is chosen most in spring and fall and sits closest to leisure, daytime and office wear. Most voters read it as feminine. Its profile is close to Fleur de Lune and By Terry Be Mine.
