What does Acrasia smell like?

Wine and citrus come first. In the heart, geranium, rose and jasmine draw a floral veil while cinnamon and frankincense add a warm, smoky spice. The base rests on vetiver, patchouli and cedarwood, woody and earthy, with vanilla, amber and musk sweetening and softening it.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. Most pick fall and winter, with evenings, nights out and leisure time leading the occasions. Masculine and feminine votes are almost level, so it sits comfortably on either. Fragrance Du Bois Secret Tryst and Eisenberg Secret V: Ambre d'Orient have a close profile.
