What does Secret Tryst smell like?

The top opens with saffron, Indian cardamom and bergamot, spice leading and bergamot lightening it a little. In the heart, jasmine and rose build the floral side while cedarwood and vetiver give it a woody base. Vanilla leaves a creamy sweetness underneath, and cistus, patchouli and frankincense add a resinous, earthy, faintly smoky trail.

Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening and night out lead the occasions. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it reads as truly in between. Beaufort Acrasia and Jeroboam Ambra have a close profile.
