What does Compliment smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear, with some voters choosing it for nights out. Although it is unisex, most voters read it as feminine.

It opens with freesia, orange blossom and palmarosa, light and airy. Ylang-ylang, Egyptian jasmine and tuberose form a floral heart. Vanilla and benzoin sweeten the base and leave a creamy warmth. Gucci Bloom Profumo di Fiori and Guerlain Joyeuse Tubéreuse have a close profile.
