It opens with beeswax absolute and clary sage, and the heart of iris and tonka bean softens it. Sandalwood and musk sit underneath. The overall impression is sweet and creamy, with a spicy thread and a powdery feel.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and night out and evening wear lead the occasions. Most see it as masculine, though the creamy texture keeps it away from anything harsh. Valentino Valentino Uomo Intense and Gucci Tears of Iris have a close profile.
