What does Avenue Montaigne smell like?
It opens with Calabrian bergamot, Grasse jasmine, fruity notes, iris and rose. The heart brings ylang-ylang, green notes, violet, Atlas cedar and leather, balancing floral against leathery. In the base, vetiver, amber, tonka bean, vanilla and oakmoss settle it onto a powdery, creamy, sweet ground.
Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick spring and fall, with winter next. It is mostly chosen for leisure, evenings and nights out. Votes are split on whether it reads masculine or feminine, so it sits in between. Its profile is close to Floris White Rose and Jil Sander Sun.
