What does Dark Temptation (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are rated weak. Most voters wear it for leisure, evenings and daily use, and pick autumn first, then winter and spring. It reads modern and masculine.
It opens fruity and lightly spicy with cherry, pear, coriander and ginger. Red pepper, sage and basil keep the heart spicy, and the base turns warm and sweet with vanilla, chocolate, amber and cream. The overall feel is synthetic, sweet and fruity.
