Paul Sebastian · 1985

Floral · Sweet · Synthetic

Paul Sebastian Design is a sweet, spicy floral for women, softened by a woody, oriental base. It opens with lilac, honeysuckle, jasmine, rose and ylang-ylang forming a dense floral bouquet. Carnation and citrus notes come through in the heart, and musky and woody notes close it on a warm, slightly animalic base. The synthetic and chypre accords give it a sharp, classic edge. Longevity and sillage are rated good, though that rests on only a small number of votes. With its floral and oriental build, it reads clearly feminine. Agent Provocateur Agent Provocateur and Emanuel Ungaro Diva (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
