What does L'Ivrée Bleue smell like?

Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind and summer rarely chosen. It leans towards leisure and evening wear. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters read it as more feminine, though it works as unisex.

It opens with lily, mandarin orange and rum, the mandarin adding freshness and the rum a slight warmth. The heart of violet and iris brings a soft, powdery floral note. In the dry-down, patchouli, vanilla, benzoin and cocoa come forward, and the scent moves towards a gourmand, spicy, resinous sweetness. Dark Tales Baroque and Honoré Payan Automne have a close profile.
