Both its longevity and its sillage are rated strong by most voters, though the number of votes is small, so this is an early impression rather than a firm measure. The build is rich, which points to evenings and cooler weather, and it does not lean toward either gender.
The floral side dominates: tuberose, jasmine, gardenia, magnolia, rose and frangipani form a dense, creamy bouquet. Cognac and civet add a warm, animalic depth, and geranium brings a faint green edge. Woody, resinous and powdery accords soften and darken the whole.
