What does Indochine smell like?

It opens with freesia, pink pepper, strawberry and Brazilian orange, a bright mix that is fruity with a light spiciness. In the heart, peony, Bulgarian rose and lily of the valley soften it into a floral shape. The base of Bourbon vanilla, oud and musk leaves a sweet, woody and slightly animal warmth.

Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, then spring, with summer lagging behind. It is chosen mostly for nights out and evenings. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, so it sits comfortably on either.
