Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and less towards everyday wear. It reads as feminine and classic.
Aniseed and bergamot open it, then carnation and neroli set the floral heart. The base of vanilla, tonka bean, iris, benzoin and violet sweetens it into a powdery, woody, spicy warmth. Guerlain Samsara and Métalys have a close profile.
