What does Transilvania smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and leisure and evening are the favoured occasions. Votes split evenly between masculine and feminine, so it sits comfortably on either.

It opens with angelica, black cherry and rose oxide, fruity and floral from the start. The heart of tuberose, jasmine, honey and immortelle makes a sweet floral bouquet. In the base, coumarin, civet, patchouli, musk, oud, vanilla and opoponax dry down, and the woody and animalic side takes over.
