What does Botrytis smell like?

Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring and summer well behind. Leisure and evening wear are tied, followed closely by daytime and nights out. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, and about half of voters read it as feminine.

Honey and honey cake form its sweet, gourmand core, while candied fruits and quince add a fruity brightness. White blossoms soften the sweetness, and amber gives a warm, spicy, oriental base. Mugler Le Lys Angel and Histoires de Parfums 1969 have a close profile.
