It wears with good longevity and moderate sillage. Most voters pick autumn, followed by spring and winter. It suits leisure, evening and daily wear, and voters mostly read it as feminine, with classic and modern close behind.
In the top, mandarin orange brings a fruity, fresh start while pink pepper adds a spicy edge. The heart turns floral and slightly powdery with rose and carnation. Patchouli and woody notes dry it down into something sweet and resinous. Hermès Twilly d'Hermès Eau Poivrée and Givenchy Dahlia Noir (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
