What does Desired smell like?
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and night out and evening are the occasions it leans towards. Votes for masculine and feminine are almost level, so it sits comfortably between the two.
It opens spicy with clove, bergamot, cumin and saffron. In the heart, jasmine sambac, rose and sandalwood add a creamy, floral softness. It dries down on patchouli, amber, Bourbon vanilla and tonka bean, leaving a warm, sweet, resinous trail. Renier Perfumes Kisses Rain Labios Rotos and Floris Honey Oud have a close profile.
