The top holds rose, mandarin orange and peony: the mandarin adds brightness, while peony and rose give a floral warmth. Rose carries on in the heart, and amber in the base sweetens everything and settles it onto a woody, powdery ground.
Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily, leisure and office wear lead. Most voters find it feminine. It has been discontinued. Chloé Chloé (2007) Eau de Parfum and Montale Deep Roses have a close profile.
