What does Lover in Dark smell like?

The top notes, apple and plum, give a fruity freshness. In the heart, cinnamon adds spice, jasmine adds floral softness, and thyme brings a faint herbal edge. The base of sandalwood, vanilla and cedarwood settles into a creamy, woody, sweet finish. Floral, fruity, gourmand and oriental accords lead the profile.

Voters find both longevity and sillage moderate, though the vote count is small, so these ratings are tentative. The gourmand, spicy build suggests cooler weather and evenings. It is positioned as a women's fragrance. Perfumes with a close profile include La Rive Secret of Beauty and French Avenue Royal Blend.
