Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate: neither especially strong nor weak. It reads as suited to men and women alike.
The scent is sweet and gourmand throughout. Vanilla and roasted tonka bean give a warm, rounded sweetness, while Scotch whisky and amber add a spicy, woody, resinous and faintly smoky depth. There is a slightly synthetic edge to it as well.
