What does Niki de Saint Phalle (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens fresh with bergamot, mint, green notes and peach. The heart builds a floral base of patchouli, cedar, jasmine and rose, with orris root adding a powdery softness. It dries down to oakmoss, amber, leather and musk, woody, resinous and leathery in feel.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening and night out lead the occasions, though spring and daytime wear also draw votes. More than half of voters call it feminine, and many add classic. Halston and Rochas Femme have a close profile.
