CreamyWhat does The Scent Absolute for Her smell like?
Peach gives it a fruity start, and coffee in the heart pushes it towards a gourmand, spicy side. The base holds vanilla and vetiver: vanilla makes it creamy and powdery-sweet, while vetiver gives the oriental feel an earthy footing.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it makes itself known without overwhelming a room. Evenings and nights out come up most, though leisure and daily wear get votes too. It reads clearly feminine, and many also call it modern. Its profile is close to Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium (Eau de Parfum) and Initio Mystic Experience.
