What does Adage smell like?

The top pairs the freshness of grapefruit with the sweet, fruity softness of osmanthus and peach blossom. In the heart, lily of the valley, iris and rose keep the floral character going, with iris adding a powdery touch. The base of vetiver, patchouli and musk settles into a woody, spicy, slightly synthetic foundation.

Its sillage is rated good, and half of those who rated it call it strong, though the number of votes is small. It is classed as a women's fragrance. Lancôme Trésor and Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Crush Absolu have a close profile.
