What does Esoteric (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity is rated moderate and its sillage weak, so the scent stays close to the skin. Presented as a women's fragrance, Esoteric has a calm, soft character.

Jasmine and orange blossom open in the top with a floral note, and cashmere in the heart carries that softness on with a powdery feel. In the base, musk, ambergris, star anise and vetiver take over; the scent turns sweeter and settles into a woody, oriental warmth. Birkholz Secret Rendezvous and Câline Nuit de Musc have a close profile.
