What does L'Éphémère smell like?

Voters find its longevity strong and its sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so those impressions are best taken cautiously. With a floral heart over a woody, oriental base, it reads neither clearly masculine nor feminine.

The top opens fresh and green with violet leaf, Persian rose otto, aldehydes and Jasminum grandiflorum. In the heart, Bulgarian and Turkish rose absolute, dog rose, patchouli and sandalwood set the floral side on an earthy, creamy footing. The base closes with leather, Siam benzoin, white ambergris, cedarwood and Swedish castoreum, adding animal, resinous and leathery warmth.
