What does Modest Deux smell like?

It opens with raspberry, rose and blackcurrant, the tartness of the fruit softened by the flowers. In the heart, peony, pink pepper and jasmine keep the floral character going, with the pink pepper adding a little lift to the sweetness. The base of Virginia cedar, white musk and patchouli dries down into a powdery, oriental warmth.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring in third place. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and it is also worn for leisure. Most voters find it feminine.
