Miller et Bertaux close your eyes, and... opens with Sicilian lemon and Calabrian mandarin orange, then moves into Turkish rose, jasmine and pear for a sweet, spicy floral-fruity scent for women.

What does close your eyes, and... smell like?

The citrus top gives way to a heart of Turkish rose, pear, jasmine and gaiac wood. The base of almond, cinnamon and heliotrope sweetens it into a creamy, lightly spiced warmth. Floral and fruity accords lead, while the woody side stays in the background.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters suggest fall, followed by winter and spring, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. Most voters find it feminine. Zahi by Paris Corner and Iris de Syracuse by Boucheron have a close profile.
