What does Éclair smell like?

It opens with orange, neroli and lemon in a fresh citrus layer. Coconut, nuts and amber soften the heart, and in the base vanilla, creamy notes, sandalwood and benzoin turn the sweetness into a smooth, warm finish.

Longevity and sillage are rated good by voters. Season votes spread almost evenly across winter, fall and spring, with summer getting fewer. Daytime, leisure and night-out wear draw similar support. Montale Bubble Forever and Montale Day Dreams have a close profile.
