What does Les Tourterelles de Zelmis (2017) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters point to fall, winter and spring, with summer lagging behind. Evening, leisure and night-out wear lead the occasions. It reads mainly feminine, with a classic side as well.

Ivy, black pepper and saffron open green and spicy. May rose, red peony and Bourbon geranium bring the heart into sweet floral territory. In the base, beeswax absolute and Turkish rose absolute leave a woody, resinous warmth through the dry-down. Etat Libre d'Orange 500 Years and Maison Mona di Orio Mellifera have a close profile.
