What does Blanc de Paris smell like?

Its longevity is moderate and its sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin as a quiet scent. It dates from 2013 and is classed as a women's fragrance.

It opens with citrus: bergamot, lemon and green mandarin keep it fresh and lightly green. In the heart, white blossoms, iris and Bulgarian rose give it a floral, powdery face. The base of white musk, benzoin and sandalwood softens it and adds sweetness. Zara Number 2: Spirited Romance and Van Cleef & Arpels Musc de Soie have a close profile.
