What does Alluring smell like?

The opening is built on summer fruits and red berries. In the heart, rose, ylang-ylang and honey keep the sweet floral thread going. The base of musk, patchouli and precious woods turns it woody, earthy and slightly animalic.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, though it is also worn for leisure. Voters mostly read it as feminine. Ikiryō Pearl and Al Ambra My Breeze have a close profile.
