L de Lubin (Eau de Toilette)

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin without overpowering a room. Most voters pick spring and fall, and leisure, business and daytime wear lead the occasions. Most see it as feminine and classic.

Citrus and black pepper open it with freshness, while ylang-ylang softens the floral side. The heart builds a floral core of May rose, jasmine and iris, with clove adding a spicy trace. The base dries down warm and woody with vanilla, sandalwood, musk and patchouli. Jean Couturier Coriandre and Chanel Cristalle have a close profile.
