What does Le Cri / Le Cri de la Lumière smell like?

Turkish rose, Florentine iris and ambrette form its core. The iris brings a powdery softness and the rose a rounded floral body, while ambrette ties them to a spicy, woody backdrop. The fresh accord keeps these flowers from feeling heavy, so the scent stays light and clean throughout.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate: it is noticed up close but doesn't fill a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn not far behind. Work, daily and leisure wear lead, and the character reads more feminine than masculine. Dior Santal Noir and Diptyque Eau Plurielle have a close profile.
