PowderyWhat does It's All About Surprise Woman smell like?
The top opens with cognac, rum absolute and rose absolute, so a boozy warmth and rose arrive together. In the heart, hedione, hibiscus, white peach and freesia add a soft floral and fruity layer. The base rests on cedarwood and sandalwood, while vanilla, musk and raspberry push it towards a gourmand, oriental sweetness. The powdery accord softens the sugar and ties it together.
Created by Philippe Romano in 2010, its profile is close to Pierre Guillaume 13 Brûlure de Rose and Hugo Boss Hugo Deep Red.
