CreamyWhat does The Irreverents smell like?
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, so it stays on the skin for a long time and is noticed around you. With its sweet, creamy and spicy build it reads as a rich, warm scent that suits men and women alike.
Pink pepper and saffron give the opening a bright, spicy edge. In the heart, caramel and jasmine join, and the floral side stays soft within the sweetness. Tonka bean, vanilla and ambergris leave a creamy, resinous, woody warmth underneath. Clive Christian XXI: Art Deco - Blonde Amber and Paris Corner Atoof have a close profile.
