What does Secret Potion smell like?

The opening is led by the three citrus-and-fruit notes, followed by a floral heart of orange blossom, jasmine and lotus. In the base, ebony, tonka bean and musk soften everything, and the fruity, gourmand sweetness settles into a powdery finish with a slightly synthetic edge.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Votes lean slightly towards fall and spring, but it is worn in all four seasons, mostly for daily wear, leisure and the office. Most voters read it as feminine and modern. Câline Très Jolie and Grès Caline have a close profile.
