Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn, winter and spring, with summer well behind. Leisure and evening wear lead, and most voters read it as feminine.
It opens with bergamot and red thyme, then settles into a creamy, powdery floral heart of lipstick, orange blossom and rice powder. White musk, tonka bean and patchouli sweeten it into a warm, gourmand base, while fruity and spicy touches stay in the background. Zadig & Voltaire Tome 1 - La Pureté for Him and Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
