What does The Silk (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
It has moderate longevity and sillage, staying close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and fall, and daily, office and leisure wear lead the occasions. About half of voters find it feminine.
Bergamot and pear bring freshness at the start, with a light spice from pink pepper. In the heart, peony, orchid and lily of the valley add a soft floral note, warmed by amber. Tonka bean and musk sweeten the base into a creamy, powdery finish.
