What does Une Robe de Zibeline smell like?

Voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. The number of votes is small, so read this with some caution. It is positioned as a women's fragrance.

In the heart, Bulgarian rose absolute, ylang-ylang, iris and carnation lead. The base is dominated by leather, tobacco absolute, brown oakmoss and labdanum, softened and sweetened by Siam benzoin, amber and coumarin. The top of rosewood, bergamot and lemon gives a brief lift, while black pepper and aldehydes add a sharp edge to the opening. Zoologist Civet and DSH Perfumes Foxy (Voile de Parfum) have a close profile.
