What does Daphne smell like?

Daphne wears strong, with good sillage. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind and summer the least favoured. It is linked more to evenings and nights out than to daily or office wear. Close to half of voters call it feminine, and a good share also see it as classic.

Tuberose, Tunisian jasmine and Rosa centifolia build the floral core, while saffron and patchouli add a spicy, woody edge. Amber, frankincense, oud and vanilla turn this into a warm, resinous, smoky sweetness, and iris adds a powdery softness. Bitter orange stays in the background of this dense blend.
