What does In Control Curious smell like?

Loquat leads at the start, and the heart brings midnight orchid together with tonka bean, crème brûlée and vanilla. The scent moves from a floral, fruity opening into something sweet, creamy and powdery, while sandalwood and musk in the base soften the sweetness and settle it onto a warm, oriental ground.

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and while it leans towards evenings and nights out, it is also worn during the day. It reads feminine and modern. Spirit Spirit of Cashmere Musk and Rabanne Pure XS for Her have a close profile.
