What does Paris (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn not far behind. It is worn across the day, from daily and leisure wear to the office and evenings out. Half of voters call it feminine, and a good number call it classic.

It opens with bergamot, geranium, green notes, hyacinth and mimosa. At the heart, rose, jasmine, lily, violet and orris root build a floral core. The base of sandalwood, amber, musk and oakmoss leaves a powdery, woody warmth. Givenchy Fleur d'Interdit and Cacharel Anaïs Anaïs have a close profile.
