What does Blue Silk smell like?

Mandarin orange, lemon, juniper and pink pepper give it a fresh, slightly sharp start. In the heart, rose and jasmine set the floral core, while nectarine and cinnamon soften and sweeten it. The base of vetiver, sandalwood, tonka bean and musk carries it into a powdery, creamy, oriental warmth.

Most voters find the longevity good, with moderate sillage. Fall leads, with spring and winter close behind. It is worn across leisure, evening and work settings alike. Most voters read it as feminine. Joop! Le Bain and Penhaligon's Monsieur Beauregard have a close profile.
