Max Mara Le Parfum in plain words

What it smells like

Opens with tuberose, a rich, powdery white flower. Vanilla in the heart adds sweetness, and it finishes on dry sandalwood and cedarwood with a slightly animalic edge.

When to wear it

Wearers reach for it in autumn first and winter second, and more by day than at night. Cool, crisp days suit it.

Who it suits
