It opens with ginger and pear sorbet, where fruity freshness meets a gentle spicy warmth. Jasmine and lemon blossom carry the floral heart. In the base, cashmeran and vanilla settle it into a woody, resinous, oriental sweetness.
Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though with few votes these ratings are tentative. Its sweet, powdery build reads clearly feminine. Lolita Lempicka Eau de Minuit 2012 and Lancôme Hypnôse (Eau de Parfum) share a close profile.
