What does Fire Sapphire smell like?

Bergamot, pink pepper, rose and plum give the first impression a fresh, fruity edge. In the heart, jasmine sambac and Bulgarian rose carry the floral side on, while cashmeran adds a soft woodiness. In the base, sandalwood, vanilla and crystal amber sweeten it into a creamy warmth, with patchouli leaving an earthy trace.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Its unisex character sits comfortably on both men and women.
