What does Perceive (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

White pepper and yellow freesia open with a spicy yet airy lift. In the heart, carnation, ylang-ylang, plum and pear turn into a floral, fruity texture. Vanilla, musk and sandalwood sweeten the base and settle it into a powdery, creamy finish.

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards daytime, office and leisure wear. Half of voters find it feminine. It shares a close profile with Nicolaï Musc Intense and Jil Sander Sun (Eau de Toilette).
