What does Chasing the Dragon Euphoric smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Voters lean towards autumn and spring, and it suits night outs and evenings best, though it is not out of place by day. Most voters read it as feminine, with a classic feel.

The scent reads as a fresh, green floral as a whole: jasmine, ylang-ylang and narcissus sit on a creamy base. Blackcurrant adds a fruity lift. Amber, sandalwood and vanilla sweeten and soften it, while cinnamon brings a spicy warmth.
