What does Isis smell like?

It opens with ginger, green tangerine and black pepper, a bright spiciness. In the heart, heliotrope, peach, caramel and nutmeg come forward, turning the scent powdery, fruity and gourmand. In the base, benzoin, vanilla absolute and amber settle that sweetness onto a warm, oriental footing.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn, with spring and winter close behind. It leans towards evenings and leisure wear, and is also worn on nights out. About half of voters find it feminine, though it is classed as unisex. Miro Pretty Flamingo and Nicolaï Kiss Me Tender have a close profile.
