What does Rouge Assassin smell like?

It opens with rose and bergamot, and the heart of rice powder, ambrette and elemi resin adds a powdery, lightly spicy softness. In the base, vanilla, tonka bean and benzoin sweeten the scent, while musk, iris, cedar and sandalwood give that sweetness a woody frame.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. Over half of voters read it as feminine. Avon Natori (Eau de Parfum) and Francesca Bianchi Angel's Dust have a close profile.
