It opens with aldehydes and cranberry, then moves to a heart of iris, rose and jasmine. The base of suede, caramel, musk and vetiver sets the florals on a leathery, earthy and lightly sweet footing, while spicy and chypre touches keep it drier than a classic floral.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, and it suits daily wear best, though it is also worn for business, evenings and leisure. It reads as a feminine fragrance.
