Bergamot, lemon and mandarin open bright over cedar, then iris, jasmine, rose, patchouli and vetiver form a powdery heart. The base is rich: vanilla, tonka bean, incense, leather, sandalwood, opoponax, musk and civet. Jacques Guerlain's composition, in this 1990 Eau de Parfum, lasts and projects strongly.
