What does Delicious Closet Queen smell like?

Raspberry and rose carry the fruity sweetness, while violet and iris set it on a powdery base. Sandalwood, cedar, vetiver and patchouli frame it in wood; leather, opoponax and tonka bean pull it towards a sweet, spicy warmth. The fresh accord stays in the background.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters lean slightly to spring and fall, but it is worn in all four seasons, from daily use to business and leisure. Masculine and feminine votes are almost level, so it reads as unisex in practice.
