What does Trouble in Heaven (Parfum) smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it is noticeable on the skin without filling the room. Most voters pick it for evening, followed by leisure and night out, and it also gets some votes for daily and office wear.

Bergamot and Cascalone® lead at the top, while rosebud and orris absolute give the heart a powdery floral feel. In the base, amber, labdanum, tonka bean absolute and patchouli take over, turning the scent sweet, creamy and faintly smoky. Spicy and woody touches keep the sweetness in check.
