SpicyWhat does Vêpres Siciliennes smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters recommend spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear, with business and evening also getting votes. Most voters read it as feminine, though some call it classic or modern.
The top opens with orange, mandarin orange and grapefruit, sharpened by pepper and cardamom. In the heart, jasmine, orange blossom and rose build a floral core. The base sweetens and softens with vanilla, peach and musk, leaving a powdery trail.
