What does Sex smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated weak, so it sits close to the skin rather than leaving a strong trail. The vote count is small, so this impression is tentative.

It opens with rhubarb, soy bean and red fruits, a fresh, green and fruity start. The heart turns floral with jasmine sambac, grapefruit blossom and Indian tuberose. In the base, musk, vanilla and precious woods sweeten it and give a powdery, lightly oriental warmth.
