What does Angélique smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays close to the skin yet remains noticeable through the day. Most voters suggest spring and fall, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear. It reads more feminine, though a fair share of voters call it masculine.

French mimosa and osmanthus give a soft, slightly sweet floral feel, while iris adds a powdery texture. Virginia cedar and frankincense bring dryness, a touch of smoke and light spice, and white champaca rounds out the floral side. The green and woody tones keep the sweetness in check. Serge Lutens Gris clair and El Nabil Black Iris have a close profile.
