What does Devils Deceit smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick spring and autumn, while winter and summer trail behind. It is chosen mostly for leisure and daily wear.

The opening is bright and fruity, built on bergamot, orange, red apple and aldehydes. In the heart, orris, Bulgarian rose and geranium add a floral, powdery frame. The base of patchouli, oud, oakmoss and civet turns animal and woody.
