What does Cosmogony - Proserpina smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the number of ratings is small, so these impressions are still tentative. It reads as a feminine fragrance.

The notes work as one whole rather than in stages: oakmoss, jasmine, ylang-ylang, rose and patchouli form a floral and woody backbone. Mandarin orange, lemon and pomegranate add a fruity brightness, while cistus and sandalwood deepen the chypre feel. A spicy thread runs through it. Halston Catalyst and Carven Intrigue have a close profile.
