Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it stays on you for a long time without filling the room. Most voters recommend autumn and winter, with spring second and summer well behind. It leans towards leisure and evening wear. Most voters read it as feminine, though a fair number find it masculine.
It opens with bergamot and hazelnut. In the heart, Bourbon vanilla, heliotrope and cocoa bring out the sweetness. The base holds Indian sandalwood, musk and myrrh, a woody, spicy foundation that softens the sugar. Parfums de Marly Althaïr and Zara Sand Desert at Sunset Intense have a close profile.
