What does Lady in Red smell like?
It opens with star anise and liquorice, a spicy, slightly gourmand start. Orange blossom and jasmine carry the floral heart, while sandalwood, musk, vanilla and oakmoss settle it into a woody, powdery, sweet base.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring further behind. It is worn mostly for evenings and nights out, and also for leisure. Jeanne Arthes Guipure & Silk and Monotheme Jasmin Noir / Black Jasmine have a close profile.
