What does Her Secret smell like?

The top is cardamom, pink pepper, bitter orange, strawberry leaf and grapefruit, giving a citrusy, green freshness. In the heart, ylang-ylang, jasmine, tuberose and woodland strawberry add a floral, fruity sweetness. The base of cedar, benzoin, vanilla, sandalwood and patchouli settles that sweetness onto a woody footing.

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters point to spring, fall and summer, with winter a weaker pick. It leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office, and less towards evening or a night out. Jil Sander Sunrise Men and Issey Miyake Pleats Please L'Eau have a close profile.
