Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays present without filling a room. Its oriental, gourmand build suits cooler weather, though there is no clear vote on season or occasion. It is presented as a women's perfume.
It opens with clove, cardamom and cinnamon warmth, brightened by bergamot and lychee. Orange blossom and iris soften the heart with a powdery note. The base turns sweet with caramel, chocolate and tonka bean, deepened by patchouli and musk.
