Eau de Parfum

Carla Fracci Giselle Eau de Parfum is a feminine scent that pairs a fresh floral start with powdery, spicy gourmand sweetness; it has been discontinued. It opens with ylang-ylang, and a heart of jasmine, freesia and tuberose gives it a floral, garden-like feel. In the base, cinnamon, coconut, caramel, white honey and vanilla turn it sweet, with musk softening the whole. The fresh, fruity and spicy accords stay in the background beneath that gourmand sweetness. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Voters pick it most for fall, spring and winter, with summer far behind. It suits daily wear and leisure best, and also gets votes for evenings and the office. Most voters find it feminine. The Body Shop Ananya (Eau de Toilette) and Benefit Something About Sofia have a close profile.

Eau de Parfum

Carla Fracci Eau de Parfum is a fresh, floral women's fragrance that opens on tuberose, ylang-ylang and passion fruit; it has been discontinued. The opening sets a heavy floral tone with tuberose and ylang-ylang, while passion fruit adds a fruity lift. The heart keeps the bouquet going with lily, jasmine and freesia, with a green edge alongside. In the base, vanilla, vanilla blossom, musk and sandalwood settle the scent into something sweet, creamy and lightly woody. Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters lean towards daily and leisure wear, with evening and business use also getting votes. It reads as a feminine perfume, and its profile is close to The Fragrance Amethyst Soul and House of Puente Vespertine.
