What does Hypnotic Poison Eau Sensuelle smell like?

The flowers sit on a sweet base: heliotrope and vanilla orchid pull the scent towards powdery and gourmand, while bitter almond and orange blossom add a slight twist to that sweetness. Sandalwood and musk give it a soft, woody depth, and caraway brings a spicy edge.

Most voters pick it for autumn and winter, and see it as an evening or night-out scent. Both its longevity and sillage are rated strong, and most voters read it as feminine. Tesori d'Oriente Fiore del Dragone and Nicolaï Kiss Me Tender have a close profile.
