What does Dangerous Complicity smell like?

It opens with rum, ginger and coconut, sweet and spiced at once. In the heart, ylang-ylang, jasmine absolute and osmanthus absolute bring the floral side forward. The base of Lorenox™, sandalwood and patchouli gives it a woody footing, while powdery, creamy and slightly leathery touches soften the sweetness.

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters recommend spring and fall, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear. Most voters read it as feminine, though as a unisex scent it suits men too. Etat Libre d'Orange True Lust and DKNY Liquid Cashmere Black have a close profile.
