What does Haute Provence/89 smell like?

Narcissus and lavender form a floral backbone, while melon and watermelon add a cooling, sweet fruit tone on top. As a whole it reads airy and lightly sweet, with a slightly synthetic sheen among its accords.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without crowding the room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office lead the occasions. Most see it as feminine and modern. Escada Miami Blossom and Jeanne Arthes Rainbow have a close profile.
