It starts with the fruity sweetness of dewberry brightened by citrus, then honey and vanilla bring a creamy weight. In the dry-down, Siam benzoin and balsamic notes leave a resinous, spicy warmth, with a synthetic sheen running through it.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards leisure and evening wear, with night outings close behind. Although unisex, most voters read it as feminine.
