What does Oxytocin smell like?

It opens on rose: Turkish damask rose and rose absolute set a floral start. In the heart, spices, chocolate, tonka bean and Bourbon vanilla sweeten the rose into something creamy and gourmand, while tree moss adds a woody footing. The base of ambergris, musk, Thai oud and patchouli closes it with an oriental depth.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall, winter and spring, with summer well behind. Night out, evening and leisure are the occasions named most often. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it reads as in between. Aaron Terence Hughes Luna and Onyx have a close profile.
