Château de Versailles Madame de Maintenon is an oriental women's fragrance that wraps a floral core in sweet, spicy and woody warmth.

Both longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Most read it as feminine, though a fair share of voters find it masculine.

Château de Versailles

Fresh · Citrus · Floral
