What does Beverly Hills (Cologne) smell like?

Jasmine and gardenia form the floral core, while amber adds an oriental warmth and resinous depth. Powder softens the whole, and the spicy, woody and slightly animal touches keep the sweetness from turning sugary.

Longevity and sillage are rated strong, though only a few voters have weighed in. Most voters pick winter and fall, and evening or night out. With its full, pronounced build it reads as feminine, and it is chosen less for warm weather and daytime wear.
