What does Petit Ange smell like?

The top is mandarin orange, bergamot and grapefruit, so citrus leads at first. In the heart, rose, white and purple lilac, jasmine, ylang-ylang and sandalwood build a floral garden feel. White musk, benzoin and vanilla in the base soften it and make it sweeter.

Longevity is rated moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin as a quiet scent. The vote counts are small, so these ratings are a tendency rather than a firm verdict. It has a profile close to Nicolaï La Nostalgie and Ormaie Yvonne.
