OrientalWhat does Dark Sapphire smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards leisure time and evenings.
It opens with star anise, green notes and mandarin orange, giving a green, fruity freshness. In the heart, rose, heliotrope and gingerbread push the floral sweetness towards the gourmand. The base of musk, white ambergris and sandalwood dries down warm, woody and powdery.
