What does L'Amour d'Orient smell like?

The top is split between the heat of pimento and black pepper and the fresh citrus lift of grapefruit. In the heart, cumin, lavender, cinnamon and saffron bring out its spicy and floral sides. The base of vanilla, tobacco and amber rests it on a sweet, powdery and warm foundation.

It suits men and women alike. Voters find both longevity and sillage very strong and rate its value for money highly, though the number of votes is small, so these impressions are tentative. Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb Extreme and Jean Paul Gaultier Le Mâle Terrible have a close profile.
