What does Acte d'amour furtif. A.N. smell like?

Up top, the bite of Indian black pepper meets the brightness of Italian bergamot. In the heart, violet leaf and iris add a powdery, creamy softness. The base brings a sweet warmth from ambroxan, white musk and amber, while gaiac wood, suede, Virginia cedar and Haitian vetiver give it a woody, slightly animal depth. The overall impression is fresh, spicy and woody, with the powdery iris smoothing the edges. It sits between masculine and feminine.
