Perfect Veil (Eau de Parfum)

The notes aren't split into top, heart and base; the scent reads as a whole, with lemon's brightness set against the soft sweetness of vanilla. Musk anchors both on a powdery, creamy ground, and a faint animal edge stays in the background. The floral side is subtle, more a tone than a note you pick out.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Voters pick leisure, business and daily wear most often, with evening and sport further behind. It suits anyone who wants something calm, clean and soft. Bootzie Bootzie and Serge Lutens Un lys have a close profile.
