What does Bijan Women (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

The opening is floral and sweet, built on ylang-ylang, narcissus and orange blossom. In the heart, Bulgarian rose, lily of the valley and Persian jasmine come forward; the base of patchouli, sandalwood and Moroccan oakmoss settles into a woody, powdery ground. Fruity and spicy touches and a resinous warmth give it a classic oriental line.

Both longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evenings and nights out lead the occasions. About half of voters find it feminine, and many call it classic. Lorenzo Villoresi Alamut and Estēe Lauder Spellbound have a close profile.
