What does M (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with marshmallow and seawater: a sugary sweetness softened by a faint salty freshness. In the heart, tiaré and gardenia bring the floral side forward. The base of patchouli and frankincense settles it onto a powdery, slightly smoky, oriental footing, with fruity and gourmand shades running throughout.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall, winter and spring, with summer less favored. It is chosen most for evening and nights out, though daily wear also gets votes. Half of voters find it feminine, and a good share call it modern. Lancôme La Nuit Trésor L'Eau de Parfum and Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb have a close profile.
