What does Œillet Louis XV (2012) smell like?

Mandarin orange and pink pepper open it with a bright, lightly spicy lift. In the heart, rose, iris and white orchid sit beside the carnation, giving the scent its green, floral character. The base of white musk, blond woods, rice flour and honey softens it and adds a gentle sweetness.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick it for fall and spring, and for leisure and daily wear. It reads feminine to most, though a fair number also call it classic. Chloé Chloé (2009) (Eau de Toilette) and Le Galion Snob (2014) have a close profile.
