What does Sonia Rykiel (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens with blackcurrant, mandarin orange, pineapple and passion fruit, a bright fruity start. Violet, honeysuckle, lily of the valley and cardamom bring a soft floral and spicy heart. The base of tonka bean, vanilla and sandalwood turns sweet and powdery, while patchouli and cinnamon add an earthy, spicy depth.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters suggest it most for daytime and evening, and it also suits leisure hours. Grès Ambre de Cabochard and Salvador Dali Le Roy Soleil (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
