What does Souffle Intime smell like?

Voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate. It is chosen mostly for autumn, winter and spring, far less for summer, and it suits evenings, daily wear and nights out. Most voters call it feminine and classic.

The top notes of aldehydes, pink pepper, orange and mandarin open bright. The heart builds a floral frame of iris, jasmine, rose and violet, softened by cinnamon and peach into something spicy and fruity. The base settles into vanilla, tonka bean, amber and musk, sweet and woody.
