What does La Reine Margot smell like?

The scent is built almost entirely around jasmine, which appears in both the top and the heart, while amber and musk soften it underneath. Beside the floral accord, green and spicy tones come forward; oriental, resinous and earthy facets add a warm depth. Animal and smoky touches push the jasmine well beyond a simply sweet floral, and the chypre character gives it a more grown-up feel. It is marketed as a feminine fragrance. Perfumes with a close profile include Montale Intense Roses Musk and Khaltat Hob 1.
