What does Rouge Temptation smell like?

It opens on rose, and in the heart rose is joined by jasmine. The base brings amber, musk and vanilla. The accords sit mainly in the floral and sweet range, with fruity, gourmand, spicy and woody touches behind them, and a powdery, creamy softness over the whole.

Voters rate its longevity as strong and its sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so this is only an early indication. Warm and sweet in build, it reads equally well on men and women.
