What does Queen of Silk smell like?

It opens with magnolia, saffron and Chinese osmanthus. In the heart, tuberose and passion fruit carry the floral sweetness while Java patchouli and oud add a woody depth. The base of myrrh, frankincense, musk and Bourbon vanilla settles into a soft, creamy, lightly spiced warmth.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter, and evening and night out are the most chosen occasions. Most voters read it as feminine. Perfumes with a close profile include The Dua Brand Silk Queen and Ormonde Jayne Arabesque.
