What does Graduate 1954 smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick autumn and spring, and see it as a scent for nights out and evenings. Voters mostly call its character feminine and classic.

It opens with aldehydes, mandarin orange and bergamot, which give it a fresh lift alongside lily of the valley and clove. The heart is a sweet bouquet of jasmine, tuberose, heliotrope and ylang-ylang. In the base, vetiver, sandalwood, patchouli and moss keep it on a woody, chypre footing. Estēe Lauder Beautiful and Cacharel Anaïs Anaïs have a close profile.
