What does Maxim's de Paris pour Femme (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with night out and evening the leading occasions. Most see it as feminine and classic.

It opens with mint, melon and bergamot over moss. The heart builds a floral body from iris, jasmine, tuberose and rose. In the base, vanilla, honey, amber and sandalwood bring a sweet, resinous, woody warmth, with chypre and spicy touches alongside. Guerlain Samsara and Guy Laroche Clandestine have a close profile.
