Dorin · 2007

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Dorin Un Air de Paris (Eau de Parfum) is a powdery, fruity floral built around white peach, mandarin orange and iris, made for women. It opens with white peach and mandarin orange, a fruity brightness that galbanum cuts with a green edge. In the heart, iris, ylang-ylang and jasmine turn floral and powdery. Musk and sandalwood in the base leave it soft, lightly woody and sweet. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, then spring, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also works for leisure and daytime. Half of voters call it feminine, and a good share find it classic. Dorin Dorin d'Or Classique and M. Micallef Floral have a close profile.
