SmokyWhat does Portrayal Woman smell like?
It opens with a floral jasmine. At the heart, tobacco and vanilla take over; the scent turns sweeter, creamy and smoky. Elemi resin leaves an oriental, resinous warmth at the base.
Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick fall and spring, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Most see it as feminine, though some call it classic or modern. Filippo Sorcinelli Voix Humaine 8 and The Dua Brand Self Image of Her have a close profile.
