What does Puro Talco (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with mandarin orange and orange, fresh and citrusy. Rose, iris and vanilla take over in the heart, and ylang-ylang with more vanilla remains at the base. The scent settles into a floral, sweet, creamy powder.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick it for spring and fall, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. About half call it feminine. M8 Moods Fiorito and Bibi Bigler Splendur have a close profile.
