What does L for Women smell like?

The top notes of black pepper, pink pepper, white pepper and davana give a spicy, slightly green start. Jasmine and damask rose carry the floral heart. In the base, vetiver, cedar and patchouli lay a woody foundation, while musk and vanilla sweeten it and add a powdery softness.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Voters wear it across all four seasons in similar measure, with fall and spring slightly ahead, and lean towards evenings and nights out. Most voters find it feminine. Its profile is close to Chanel Chance (Eau de Parfum) and Xerjoff Shingl.
