The top notes are neroli, bergamot, blackcurrant and magnolia, giving a fresh, fruity start. In the heart, amber, vanilla and orris root sweeten it and add a powdery softness, and it dries down on benzoin, musk and sandalwood, warm, resinous and woody.
Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is chosen mostly for nights out and evenings. Most read it as feminine. It has been discontinued. Commodity Gold and Phebo Bronze have a close profile.
