What does Palatine smell like?

The top is fruity and bright with pear, bergamot and mandarin orange. The heart is floral and powdery, with Provençal lavender, jasmine, magnolia, iris, violet and rosebud. The base of sandalwood, vanilla, patchouli and musk settles into a creamy, soft sweetness.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. Most voters read it as feminine. Laura Biagiotti Laura Tender and Marc Gebauer Amorist have a close profile.
