What does Private Session smell like?

It opens with raspberry, lemon and aniseed together: the fruit stays tart while the aniseed adds a light spicy edge. In the heart, myrrh and cream bring a creamy softness. In the base, vanilla, benzoin and cedarwood settle the sweetness onto a woody footing.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters recommend autumn, winter and spring, and very few pick summer. It leans towards leisure time, nights out and evenings. Most voters find it feminine, though some call it modern. Pana Dora Moonlight and MAD Parfumeur Midnight have a similar profile.
