What does les bras de Morphée smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring next and summer the least chosen. It leans towards daily and leisure wear, and also suits evenings and nights out. Slightly more voters call it feminine, though a sizeable group finds it masculine.

It opens with peach and violet leaf, which set a green freshness in front of the floral notes. In the heart, orris root, violet and hazelnut wood add a powdery, lightly spicy softness. The base of vetiver and cashmeran forms an earthy, woody ground, wrapped in the creamy sweetness of tonka bean and vanilla.
