Miss France For Women

Miss France chases Repetto's much-loved Paris floral, the elegant, ballet-inspired scent built around a satin rose and a fruity-floral lightness. The dupe opens soft and pretty: a juicy pear lifted by delicate cherry blossom, fresh and a little powdery. The heart is where the romance lives - a graceful rose, rounded by orange blossom, that gives the composition its feminine, ribbon-twirling character. Where PP wearers note the original reads a touch greener and more transparent, Miss France comes across as a little more balanced and rounded, with the floral notes sitting comfortably rather than sharply. The base settles into a soft vanilla and amber wood, cosy and gently sweet, giving the floral something warm to rest on. It loses a sliver of the Repetto's airy, refined greenness but keeps its pretty, wearable elegance intact, and PP customers rate it a genuinely good buy for those not wanting to spend on the original. This is a romantic, graceful everyday floral for spring and the cooler seasons, equally at home at the office, on a date or out casually. Longevity is good for a budget oil, holding its rose-vanilla heart for several hours, broadly echoing the strong performance the original is known for.
