What does Belle de Jour smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Voters place it mostly in evening and night-out wear, with leisure and daily use close behind and office wear not far off. It reads comfortably on anyone, without leaning masculine or feminine.

Papaya, blackcurrant and bergamot open juicy and fresh. Wild peach, osmanthus and tuberose bring a soft floral heart. The base of vanilla, patchouli, leathery notes and amber settles into something creamy, powdery and faintly leathery. Fragonard Rose Ambre and Lancôme La Nuit Trésor à la Folie have a close profile.
