What does Murmure smell like?
It opens with freesia, white rose and orange, with citrus and green accords giving it a bright start. In the heart, lily, jasmine, tuberose and orange blossom form a floral bouquet, while cinnamon adds a spicy touch. The base of rosewood, cedar and vanilla closes it on a soft, powdery, woody note.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is spread across daily wear, work and nights out. It reads feminine, with some voters also calling it classic. Escada Acte 2 (Eau de Parfum) and Acqua di Parma Gelsomino Nobile have a close profile.
