What does Seven Veils smell like?

Most voters pick autumn and winter, with evenings, leisure time and nights out leaning strongest. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Just over half of voters read it as feminine, though it is made as a unisex scent.

It opens with pimento and carrot, and wisteria and oleander give the heart its floral tone. In the base, sandalwood and vanilla sweeten it and settle it into a warm, woody, powdery finish. Slava Zaïtsev Nikita and Dior Hypnotic Poison (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
