What does № 08 - Une Rose Chyprée smell like?

Clementine, bergamot and lemon zest give it a bright start, while laurel and cinnamon add a green, spicy edge. The heart is led by rose absolute, Bulgarian rose and Bourbon geranium. In the base, vetiver, patchouli, labdanum and oakmoss form a dry, woody, resinous floor, softened slightly by vanilla.

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall, followed by winter and spring, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Voters read it as more feminine, though a fair number call it masculine. Tauer Perfumes Golestan and Jazeel The Palace have a close profile.
