What does Want smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, though spring is not far behind. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, with business and evening also getting votes. Most voters read it as feminine.

Ginger, mandarin orange and pink pepper open it with a spicy, bright lift, which gives way to a soft floral heart of heliotrope, neroli and damask rose. The base of Bourbon vanilla, vanilla absolute and violet wood leaves it creamy, woody and sweet. Dsquared² Want Pink Ginger and Maison Tahité Floranilla have a close profile.
