Freesia, frankincense and bergamot give the top a fresh but full start. In the heart, jasmine, rose and orchid carry the floral side, while the fruity and gourmand accords sweeten it. The base of patchouli, musk and sandalwood dries down woody, earthy and faintly smoky.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are not conclusive. Its oriental, sweet build points towards cooler days and evening wear. Those looking for a close profile may also look at Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb (Eau de Parfum) and Ricarda M. High Society.
