What does Dahlia Noir (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn, with winter and spring following and summer well behind. Evening, daily wear and nights out are rated about equally, and it also works at the office. Most voters describe it as feminine.

It opens with mimosa, pink pepper and mandarin orange. The heart brings rose, patchouli and iris, the iris adding the powdery side and the patchouli a woody depth. Vanilla, tonka bean and sandalwood in the base sweeten it and close on a warm note.
