What does Melting Lust smell like?

It opens with cherry, rum, benzoin and elemi resin, where fruit and resin make a sweet, creamy start. In the heart, Peru balsam, gaiac wood, lavender and rose come forward, and the floral and spicy sides lead. The base of moss, musk, patchouli and amber settles it onto a warm, earthy footing.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good by voters. Most voters pick fall and winter, and night out and evening are the leading occasions. Feminine gets the most votes for character, though masculine is not far behind, so the scent leans both ways. Proad Cherry Syrup and Zara Sensual Vanilla have a close profile.
