What does Paloma Picasso (1995) (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and spring, with winter not far behind. Leisure and daytime wear lead the votes, though evening and office use also get votes. Voters mostly read it as feminine and classic.

It opens fresh, with neroli, lemon and bergamot brightened by aldehydes. In the heart, May rose, jasmine and ylang-ylang form the floral body, while mimosa and hyacinth add a powdery softness. Vetiver, oakmoss and sandalwood then settle it onto a woody, green base.
