What does Lavallière smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays with you through the day without filling the room. Most voters pick spring and summer. Leisure, business and daily wear lead, while night and evening come well behind. Voters mostly call it feminine, though modern and masculine readings also appear.

Bergamot, blackcurrant bud and fig open fresh, green and lightly fruity. At the heart, Turkish rose, jasmine sambac absolute and geranium form a floral core. In the base, vetiver, musk and cashmeran set it on a soft, woody ground. Atkinsons Rose in Wonderland and Le Labo Thé Noir 29 have a close profile.
