Scent description (editorial impression)
A classic floral with a barbershop streak: clove and lavender run through it, soapy, faintly smoky and sweet. Owners who have worn it since the late seventies still get asked what it is. One reviewer calls it the bridal perfume par excellence; another, pointedly, says it would suit an eighty-year-old.
