What does Paris 1920 smell like?

The top is buchu, neroli, bergamot, African marigold and lemon, citrus-led, green and fresh. In the heart, violet leaf, cyclamen and jasmine add a soft floral note. The base of Atlas cedar, musk, amber and vetiver dries down woody, lightly powdery and creamy, with sweet and earthy tones staying in the background.

Longevity is rated good, though that rests on only a few votes. Its fresh, green character suits daytime wear, and it reads equally well on men and women. Byredo Bal d'Afrique (Eau de Parfum) and Flavia B'Afric have a close profile.
