Voters find both its longevity and its sillage good. Most lean towards autumn and spring, and they pick it for evenings and nights out. In the character votes, feminine and classic come out on top.
The top opens with rose, apricot and bergamot, giving citrus and fruity sweetness. Jasmine, cardamom and blackcurrant bud in the heart add a floral, green, spicy turn. The base of cistus, sandalwood, oakmoss and patchouli settles it into a woody, resinous chypre. Chabaud Lumière de Venise and Franck Boclet Chypre have a close profile.
