What does Chapeau Bleu smell like?

The top is led by violet, peach, bergamot and mandarin orange, with green notes keeping it bright. In the heart, tuberose, rose and jasmine add a floral weight. The base turns sweet and soft with tolu balm, vanilla, caramel and amber, while spicy, woody and chypre facets sit underneath.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though few people have voted, so these ratings are tentative. It reads mainly as a feminine scent. Joop! Berlin and Van Cleef & Arpels First have a close profile.
