What does Jolie de Nonchalance smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, so it neither disappears quickly nor fills a room. Voters place it across a wide range, from a night out to daily wear, work and evening, with none clearly ahead of the others.

It opens with fruits, coriander, African orange blossom and bergamot. In the heart, ylang-ylang, jasmine, damask rose and tuberose build a floral body. At the base, vanilla, amber, tonka bean and sandalwood sweeten it and settle it into a creamy, resinous warmth.
