What does Plum (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with English plum, lemon and bergamot, while blackcurrant and peach sweeten the fruit. At the heart, rose, jasmine, orange blossom, tuberose and gardenia form a full bouquet. The base builds its chypre frame from oakmoss, sandalwood and patchouli, with white musk and amber adding a sweet, slightly oriental warmth.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, with summer not far behind; daily wear, evenings and the office lead the occasions. Lalique Azalée and Chopard Mira-Baï have a close profile.
