What does Through the Looking Glass smell like?

It opens with aldehydes, Rosa rugosa and plum, while plum blossom otto softens that fruity floral start. In the heart, orris absolute and orris butter lay a powdery, creamy base, with blue lotus, spices and Persian rose otto adding a floral layer on top. The base of Nigerian frankincense and Borneo and Kyara oud carries the scent into a resinous, woody and smoky tone.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good, and most voters say it stays on the skin for a long time. It suits men and women alike, with a dense, deep character. Robert Piguet L'Insomnuit and Haute Fragrance Company Black Orris have a close profile.
