What does Fairground Temptation smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it suits evenings and nights out best. Votes split almost evenly between masculine and feminine, so it sits comfortably in between.

It opens with liqueur and fresh notes, then moves to benzoin, ambergris and chocolate at the heart. Vanilla, musk and ambergris form the base. The overall impression is sweet, creamy and resinous, with spicy and woody touches in the background. Al Rehab French Coffee and Calvin Klein Nude Vanilla have a close profile.
