What does Désirée smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close to the skin rather than leaving a strong trail. Most voters pick it for daytime, relaxed days and work, with evening and night out chosen less often.
The top notes of passion fruit, grapefruit, rose and pink pepper give a fruity, fresh opening sharpened by a light spice. Jasmine and gardenia bring a soft floral heart. White musk, amber and cedarwood settle the scent into a warm, woody base. Jo Malone Sweet Lime & Cedar and Hermès Eau de Pamplemousse Rose have a close profile.
