What does Laetitia smell like?

It opens with orange blossom, mandarin orange and bergamot, which give a bright start. In the heart, Bulgarian rose, magnolia and peony carry the floral weight, while nutmeg and cardamom warm it with spice. The base of tolu balm, patchouli, labdanum and vanilla settles into a powdery, resinous and slightly earthy sweetness.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, while summer is the weakest season for it. Most voters read it as feminine and classic. Prada Prada (2004) / Prada Amber and Dior Midnight Poison (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
