What does Poison Girl Unexpected smell like?

It opens with bitter orange, Tanzanian ginger and salty notes, a lively, slightly sharp start. In the heart, peony, Damask rose and jasmine sambac bring a soft floral touch. Vanilla, Venezuelan tonka bean and musk settle the base into a creamy, sweet finish.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters lean towards fall and winter, with spring close behind, and it sees use for leisure, evenings and nights out. Most voters call it feminine. Jimmy Choo I Want Choo and Lancôme La Nuit Trésor L'Eau de Toilette have a close profile.
