What does Premier Jour smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn and winter further behind. It suits daily wear, work and leisure best, and evening or night out less so. Most voters call it feminine, while some read it as classic and others as modern.
It opens with mandarin orange and sweet pea, giving a citrusy, green, fruity freshness. Gardenia and orchid in the heart turn the floral side creamy and powdery. In the base, musk, vanilla, sandalwood and woody notes dry it down sweet and warm. Santal Blanc and Golden Angel have a close profile.
