What does Chou Chou smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it sits best in the evening, at leisure or on a night out, while office wear is the least favoured.

It opens with mandarin orange, bergamot and orange in a bright citrus layer. Jasmine and violet add a soft floral heart. In the base, vanilla, chocolate, caramel and liquorice deepen the sweetness, while amber and dry woods give it a woody footing. The result reads fruity, creamy and distinctly gourmand.
