PowderyWhat does Ruffles (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with evening and night out leading and daytime and business less favoured. Released in 1983, it reads feminine.
The top holds aldehydes, bergamot, orange blossom and green notes. In the heart, jasmine, tuberose, rose and ylang-ylang form a floral bouquet. The base of caramel, honey, vanilla, sandalwood and musk turns sweet, woody and powdery, with a spicy, animal warmth running through it. Slava Zaïtsev Maroussia and Laura Biagiotti Venezia have a close profile.
