How does it perform?
From 97 community ratings, all out of 10.
Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

The top notes of tarragon, lemon, geranium and bergamot give a fresh start. Jasmine, carnation and rose lead the heart. In the base, vanilla, amber, cinnamon and cedar soften everything into a powdery, earthy warmth.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, though spring is not far behind. It suits evenings and nights out as well as daily and business wear. Nearly half of voters find it feminine, and many call it classic. Its profile is close to Karl Lagerfeld KL Homme and Fragonard Rêve Indien.
