What does Silky Woods smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with evenings and nights out leading and leisure wear close behind. Feminine and masculine votes are almost level, so it reads as comfortable on either side.

Sweet, gourmand and spicy accords dominate. Tahitian vanilla and Madagascan ylang-ylang give it a creamy softness, while suede adds a leathery edge. Australian oud, frankincense and Australian sandalwood bring a woody, smoky depth. Yves Saint Laurent Babycat and Tom Ford Noir Extreme Parfum have a close profile.
