What does Back to Paradise smell like?

It opens with ylang-ylang, pineapple, violet leaf and bergamot, a fruity sweetness lifted by floral brightness. At the heart, rose, jasmine sambac, honey and magnolia push that sweetness in a powdery, creamy direction. The base settles into sandalwood, benzoin, crystal amber, vanilla and musk, soft and resinous.

Longevity and sillage are rated strong, though the number of votes is small, so the figures are tentative. It is a sweet, full-bodied scent that leaves a clear trail, and it suits both men and women. Francesca Bianchi Angel's Dust and Bortnikoff Spanish Honey have a close profile.
