What does Cosmogony - Sunlight smell like?

The opening is bright and peppery: juniper, cardamom, mandarin orange, black pepper and pink pepper. In the heart, rose, jasmine, honeysuckle and orange blossom turn sweeter with maple syrup, while sea salt cuts across the sweetness. The base of oak, marron glacé, benzoin and vanilla leaves a creamy, powdery, resinous warmth.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the sample is small, so this is only a rough guide. It leans feminine, and the lively citrus and spice alongside the vanilla base suit both daytime and evening wear. Anna Zworykina Winter Blush and Yves Saint Laurent Opium Vapeurs de Parfum have a close profile.
