OrientalWhat does Falling smell like?
The notes are ylang-ylang, jasmine, rose, pepper and orange blossom. With no top, heart and base split, it reads as a single whole: the flowers lead, citrus and fruity tones lighten them, and the pepper adds a spicy edge. Gourmand and oriental sides, along with woody and powdery touches, keep the scent soft and sweet.
Its profile is close to Dior Hypnotic Poison Eau Sensuelle and Guerlain Fall Flowers.
