What does Hypnosis smell like?

The top is bright, with Sicilian lemon, pink grapefruit and pink pepper, while mugwort and aldehydes add a green, slightly sharp edge. In the heart, ylang-ylang, jasmine sambac, tuberose and Turkish rose make the floral side creamy and full. The base of patchouli, sandalwood and labdanum builds a warm, sweet, resinous footing, and the woody side takes over as it dries down.

Voters find the longevity strong and the sillage good. Most pick fall and winter, with spring close behind, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Votes for feminine and masculine are nearly even, so it reads as truly unisex. It has been discontinued.
