What does Les Fantaisies Parfumées - Ballade Verte smell like?

The top notes of violet leaf, galbanum and ginger give a green, spicy freshness, while rose and ylang-ylang add a soft floral touch. In the heart, sandalwood, cedar, resins and oud build a woody, slightly earthy depth. White musk and vanilla leave the base powdery and sweet.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and business are the leading occasions. It reads mainly feminine, though some voters also call it classic or modern. Balmain Ivoire and Hermès Calèche Eau Délicate have a close profile.
