It opens with pink pepper and orange blossom, then moves into orchid, tiaré and amyris. The base of tonka bean, benzoin, patchouli and sandalwood sweetens it and closes on a powdery, woody warmth. An oriental floral character carries the whole.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, spring is not far behind, and very few choose summer. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and also works for daily wear. Its profile is close to Penhaligon's Monsieur Beauregard and Chopard Love Chopard.
