This stuff smells SOOOO pretty! t's bearable enough to take a big wiff of, and not get a head ache. "the essence of a woman who is incredibly free. she is not from paris but paris adopts her. because she knows how to love, how to live. Parisienne, the perfume of ultra femininity, ultra sensuality. a grand floral with a woody structure, luminous in its myster." Floral and woody is a great way to describe the smell!
