What does Haute Provence smell like?
Citrus leads at first, then iris and lavender bring a floral, lightly powdery side. In the base, musk and cedarwood soften the scent and settle it on a woody ground, while the spicy and sweet touches stay in the background.
Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate: a scent you carry through the day without it filling the room. The number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. Jeanne en Provence Lavande & Vétiver and Dana Canoe are among the perfumes with a close profile.
