What does Délectation Splendide smell like?

Aniseed, kahili ginger and pepper give the opening a spicy warmth, with lemon briefly lifting it. In the heart, Moroccan rose meets almond, tonka bean and praliné, pushing the scent towards a powdery, creamy sweetness. In the base, benzoin, Bourbon vanilla and cinnamon keep the sweetness going, while Indonesian patchouli and musk stay in the background.

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter; evening and night out lead, with leisure and daily wear close behind. Most voters call it feminine. Alexandre.J Imperial Peacock and M. Micallef Mon Parfum Cristal have a close profile.
