What does Création (2011) smell like?

The fruity tartness of blackcurrant is softened by iris and neroli at the start. At the heart, carnation, rose, jasmine and tuberose form a dense floral bouquet, with green and spicy tones behind it. The base of amber, patchouli, musk and oakmoss adds a woody, powdery and slightly animalic depth.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards leisure and night-out wear and also suits evenings. Most voters read it as feminine and classic. Caron Nocturnes (2013) and Balenciaga Michelle (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
