What does Dent de Lait smell like?

Cashmeran, coconut, almond milk and Somalian frankincense read as one whole rather than separate layers. A fresh, floral side meets a powdery, creamy softness; the sweetness never turns heavy and stays in a milky texture, while the synthetic touch in the accords adds a clean look.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring, followed by summer and fall, and it suits leisure and daily wear best. Voters call it feminine more often than masculine, though plenty say masculine. Narciso Rodriguez For Her Pure Musc and Marc Jacobs Perfect have a close profile.
