What does Hypnotic Poison Eau Secrète smell like?

It opens with a bright citrus layer of Sicilian mandarin orange, Calabrian bergamot and orange. Jasmine sambac and neroli carry the floral heart, while vanilla in the base softens everything and turns it sweeter. Fruity and spicy touches sit over a powdery, oriental background.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and more than half of voters read it as feminine. Private Mood So Vanilla and Oriflame Amber Elixir Mystery have a close profile.
