What does Exotic smell like?

Bergamot and lavender give it a bright start, then rose, lily and black truffle take the heart. The base of musk, frankincense, amber and vanilla softens it into something powdery, spicy and woody.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and night out and evening wear lead the occasions. More voters call it feminine, though a fair share see it as masculine. Jil Sander Jil (2009) and Calvin Klein Sheer Obsession have a close profile.
