Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall, then winter and spring, with summer well behind. It is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out, though business and daily wear get votes too. Most voters read it as feminine.
It opens with tagetes, bergamot and blackcurrant; the heart of orris root, rose and jasmine adds a soft, powdery floral note. The base of patchouli, sandalwood and amber dries down spicy and oriental.
