Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters choose it for evenings and nights out, while leisure and daily wear come further back and the office comes last.
The top opens with violet and labdanum, and tuberose and jasmine bring out the floral heart. The base of sandalwood, oakmoss, frankincense and musk settles into an earthy, woody, oriental ground. Yves Rocher Ode au Rêve and Krigler Bouquet Baroque 217 have a close profile.
