Baroque

Yardley · 1996

Citrus · Floral · Fruity

Yardley Baroque is a discontinued women's fragrance that sets citrus and flowers on a powdery, sweet base. Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it sits between a close skin scent and a loud one. Few people have rated it, so that picture is only a rough guide. It is made for women. Freesia, mandarin orange, lilac and orange open bright, fruity and fresh. In the heart, peony, jasmine and stephanotis bring out the floral side. The base of musk, sandalwood and amber softens it and dries down resinous, lightly spicy and oriental. Laura Mercier Neroli and Balenciaga Cristobal Eau de Cristobal have a close profile.
