What does Only Desire smell like?

Bergamot and aldehydes bring freshness at the start, while banana and pear add a soft fruity note. In the heart, rum absolute, cumin, vanilla orchid and Indian jasminum grandiflorum make a floral, creamy transition. The base of praliné, Bourbon vanilla and amberwood settles into a sweet, powdery and warm finish.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick winter and fall; evenings and nights out lead, and it also works for leisure time. Ariana Grande Cloud (Eau de Parfum) and Bench. Sound for Her have a close profile.
