PowderyWhat does Promesse de l'Aube smell like?
Californian lemon, Brazilian tangerine and bergamot start it off brightly. In the heart, ylang-ylang and Egyptian jasmine add a soft floral note. Vanilla, Indian sandalwood and tonka bean sweeten the base and bring a woody warmth, while fruity and spicy touches sit behind its chypre character.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters place it in fall and spring, then summer, and it leans towards evening and daily wear, with business use close behind. Most voters find it feminine. Chanel Bois des Îles and Nobile 1942 Chypre 1942 have a close profile.
