What does Femme (2014) smell like?

Longevity and sillage both rate as good, and most voters give the lasting power a high mark. It leans towards fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It works best for evenings and nights out, though it is also worn for leisure and daily use.

It opens with plum, peach and bergamot for a fruity freshness, while cumin adds a spicy edge from the start. The heart builds a floral body of May rose, jasmine and iris, with clove leaving a warm spice trace. In the base, vanilla and benzoin sweeten things, and oakmoss and patchouli add a woody, earthy depth. Rochas Femme (1989) and Van Cleef & Arpels Gem have a close profile.
