What does Varens d'Orient Saphir smell like?

It opens with plum, bergamot and blackcurrant, a lively fruity start. In the heart, jasmine and damask rose carry the floral side, while sandalwood settles it onto a soft, creamy base. Labdanum and patchouli in the base add oriental depth to the sweetness.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though these ratings rest on only a small number of votes. It reads feminine and suits staying close rather than filling a room. Lancôme La Nuit Trésor à la Folie and Dolce & Gabbana The One (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
