It opens with Sicilian lemon, Calabrian bergamot and pink pepper, which bring brightness and a light touch of spice. The heart is floral, built on Bulgarian rose and Jasminum auriculatum; the base of Bourbon vanilla, amber, Moroccan labdanum absolute and Virginia cedar wood settles into a sweet, resinous, woody warmth.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall, spring and winter, with summer far behind. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, and can also be worn at the office. Most voters read it as feminine. Dior Ambre Nuit and Montale Attar have a close profile.
