What does Caterina de' Medici (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, and it suits leisure, daily wear and the office. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters read it as feminine and classic.

Tuberose and chamomile form a floral backbone, while mandarin orange brightens it with a fruity lift. Benzoin and styrax leave a warm, spicy trace in the background. The overall feel is fresh and green, with a slightly synthetic sheen. Montale Fantastic Basilic and L'Erbolario Tuberosa have a close profile.
