What does Arsenic smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good by those who voted, though the number of votes is small, so the impression is tentative. There are no season or occasion votes, so little can be said about when it suits best; it is described as a feminine scent.

The notes read as one whole rather than in layers: sugar powder, biscuit and buttercream bring the sweetness, and vanilla softens it. Masala chai and pumpkin add a spiced warmth. Bath & Body Works Warm Butter Cookie and Karzaz French Macaron have a close profile.
