What does McQueen (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and fall, though winter has a fair share too. It is chosen mostly for leisure, then for nights out and evenings, and most voters read it as feminine.

Pink pepper, black pepper and clove open it with a sharp, spicy edge. Jasmine sambac, Comorian ylang-ylang and tuberose then build a creamy floral heart with a sweet touch. Vetiver anchors the flowers on an earthy base. Prada La Femme and Penhaligon's Heartless Helen have a close profile.
