What does Tête-à-Tête / Тет-а-тет (Parfum) smell like?

It starts fresh, green and lightly spicy with mandarin orange, aniseed, celery and blackcurrant. The heart turns softly floral with rose, jasmine and ylang-ylang. The base is earthy and woody, built on vetiver, patchouli and tree moss, with vanilla and amber adding sweetness and warmth.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It suits leisure, daily wear and nights out. Votes split almost evenly between feminine and masculine, and many call it classic. Jovoy Ambre Premier and Avon Timeless (Cologne) have a close profile.
