Most voters place it in fall and spring, with winter close behind, and lean towards evening and night-out wear. Its longevity and sillage are rated good, and most voters read it as feminine.
Rose, tuberose and jasmine give the top a rich floral weight, while the peach in the heart adds a soft, fruity touch. In the base, vanilla, balsamic notes and iris sweeten it and settle into a powdery, oriental finish. Guerlain Attrape Cœur and Guerlain Vol de Nuit Évasion share a close profile.
