What does Plaisir de Frédéric smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though few people have voted, so the picture is tentative. It reads as a feminine perfume.

It opens with red pepper, bergamot and violet, which give a fresh, lightly spicy start. In the heart, ylang-ylang, jasmine and rose bring the floral side forward. The base of vanilla, cedarwood and musk settles it into something sweet, creamy, powdery and woody, with a synthetic edge among the accords.
