What does Cinéma Festival d'Été smell like?

It opens with rosemary, clary sage and clementine, an aromatic, bright start. Peony, jasmine and amaryllis add a soft floral heart. Vanilla, white musk and amber leave a sweet, powdery, slightly woody warmth underneath, with spicy and fruity touches behind it.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it makes itself known without pushing. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is worn mainly for daily and office use, as well as leisure and nights out. Yves Saint Laurent Cinéma (Eau de Parfum) and Balenciaga Cristobal Eau de Cristobal have a close profile.
