What does Hildegarde / Carmel Snow smell like?

It opens with petitgrain, lime and bergamot forming a bright citrus base, while orange blossom and peach soften it with a fruity sweetness. In the heart, violet, lily of the valley and saffron lead, with herbs adding a green edge. The base of cedar, Haitian vetiver and amber brings woody depth, and candied fruits keep a gourmand sweetness going.

Voters find the longevity good and the sillage moderate. Most pick spring and summer; it suits leisure and daily wear best, with evening and office also chosen. Most voters read it as feminine, though some call it modern or classic. Yardley Lily of the Valley and Loewe Gala de Día have a close profile.
