What does La Pluie smell like?

Bergamot and mandarin orange give it a bright, citrus start. Jasmine, ylang-ylang, mimosa and orange blossom build the floral body, with vanilla adding sweetness, lavender a spicy touch and vetiver a woody depth. The overall impression is fresh, green and lightly powdery.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters recommend spring and summer, and winter trails far behind. Leisure, business and daily wear lead, while evening is rarely chosen. Most voters read it as feminine, though some call it masculine. Chanel Coco Mademoiselle (Eau de Parfum) and Veronique Gabai Mimosa in the Air have a close profile.
