What does Love Poison smell like?

It opens with cinnamon, cumin, bergamot and red berries, spicy and fruity at once. Egyptian jasmine, Turkish rose and orange blossom soften the heart into something floral. The base turns sweet, resinous and woody, built on Bourbon vanilla, sandalwood, amber, raspberry and brown sugar.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong, though the number of ratings is small, so this is only an early picture. The sweet, spicy character points towards cooler weather and evenings, and it sits comfortably on men and women alike. Boadicea the Victorious Pure Narcotic and The Dua Brand Love Dungeon have a close profile.
