CreamyWhat does Une Histoire de Femme Sensuelle smell like?
It opens with praliné, which brings a gourmand sweetness. In the heart, rose and white freesia add a soft floral touch, and white musk settles the scent onto a powdery, creamy base. The fresh accord keeps the sweetness from turning heavy.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Voters lean towards spring and fall, and towards daily wear, leisure and the office; most see it as a feminine scent. Guerlain L'Instant Magic and Pierre Guillaume Poudre de Riz have a close profile.
