What does Envol (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good, and most voters score longevity high. With no season or occasion votes, there is little more to say about when it suits. It reads feminine. Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche (1970) and Carine Roitfeld George have a close profile.

Oakmoss, jasmine and rose lead the notes, with fruity and green notes adding freshness while musk, ambergris and woody notes stay in the background. The accords are fresh, floral and green, with a spicy touch and a powdery softness resting on the chypre frame.
