Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer, while winter gets far fewer votes. Longevity and sillage are both rated good, though these ratings rest on few votes. Voters lean towards calling it feminine, yet it reads as unisex.
It opens with tuberose and mandarin orange. White peony, jasmine sambac and frankincense form a floral heart. In the base, opoponax, musk and sandalwood settle it into a powdery, creamy, woody softness, with fruity and spicy touches staying in the background.
