What does A Little Secret smell like?

It smells like something sweet from the oven: rainier cherry, rum and marzipan sit beside the pastry. Saffron adds a spicy warmth, while patchouli and tonka bean deepen the sweetness into a creamy, oriental base.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards leisure, nights out and evenings. More voters call it feminine, though a sizeable share read it as masculine.
