What does Café Chantant (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, then spring, with summer well behind. It leans towards evenings, leisure time and nights out, though daytime and office wear get votes too. Nearly half of voters call it feminine, yet it reads as unisex.

It opens with sour cherry and laurel; the heart of marshmallow, heliotrope and iris adds a soft, powdery floral touch. In the base, vanilla and benzoin carry the sweetness while patchouli and musk deepen it. The overall impression is a fruity, gourmand, spicy oriental.
