What does Le Parfum smell like?

The scent rests on a warm woody base of amber, sandalwood and cedar. Spices and frankincense add a resinous, slightly smoky edge, while jasmine and heliotrope pull the sweetness towards a soft, powdery side. White musk rounds it all off cleanly on the skin, and an animal accord gives it depth. For a similar profile, Calvin Klein Obsession (Eau de Parfum) and Elizabeth Taylor Passion (Eau de Toilette) sit close.
