What does Be Tempted smell like?

The top opens with blackcurrant bud, red fruits, apple and lemon, while liquorice adds a spicy edge. Violet, rose and orange blossom shape the floral heart. The base of Indonesian patchouli, myrrh and vanilla turns it sweeter and gives it an oriental warmth.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is worn for leisure, evenings and nights out. It reads as feminine and modern. Hackett Absolute and Mugler La Rose Angel have a close profile.
