What does Jacques Saint Pres - Ciel smell like?

It reads as a single piece: white rose, iris and violet form a floral, powdery front, tonka bean and vanilla settle it onto a creamy, sweet base, and musk softens the edges. Synthetic and oriental touches sit among the accords as well.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters recommend spring, autumn and winter, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear, with business use also common. Most voters find it feminine. Its profile is close to Gucci The Virgin Violet and Tous Oh! The Origin (Eau de Parfum).
