OrientalWhat does What We Do in Paris Is Secret smell like?
Lychee, bergamot and honey open bright and fruity-sweet. In the heart, heliotrope, vanilla and Turkish rose carry that sweetness into a soft, powdery floral. The base of ambergris, sandalwood, tonka bean and tolu balm settles into a woody, resinous, oriental warmth.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind; summer is the least chosen. It leans towards leisure time, evenings and nights out. Most voters read it as feminine, though it can be worn as a unisex scent. The Dua Brand Our Secret in Paris and Stendhal Ambre Sublime have a close profile.
