What does Espoir de Zhang smell like?

It opens with coconut, aniseed and plum, which give it a fruity sweetness. The heart brings together jasmine, tuberose, wild rose and lily of the valley in a floral bouquet. In the base, vanilla, tonka bean, almond and white musk settle it into a creamy, powdery sweetness.

Longevity and sillage are rated good, though the number of votes is small, so treat these as rough. Most voters pick fall, winter and spring, with summer chosen far less. It leans towards leisure, evening and night-out wear. Simimi Blanc de Zhang and La Rive Sweet Hope have a close profile.
