What does Penelope Hypnotic smell like?

Apricot and coconut open on a sweet, fruity note, with green notes and coriander freshening it a little. In the heart, rose, ylang-ylang, jasmine and heliotrope give a floral, slightly powdery face. The base of caramel, amber, vanilla and sandalwood turns it sweet, resinous and woody.

Longevity and sillage are rated good, though only a small number of votes stand behind that. Its gourmand sweetness and oriental warmth suggest it sits more comfortably in cooler weather. Fragonard Lune de Miel and The Body Shop Vanilla have a close profile.
