What does Boyfriend (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Most voters pick fall and winter, while spring trails behind. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. It sits comfortably in daily wear, leisure time and evenings out. Most voters read it as feminine, though it is classed as unisex.

It opens with plum and myrrh, and in the heart benzoin and night-blooming jasmine soften the sweetness. The base of patchouli, amber, musk and cistus absolute dries down woody, spicy and creamy. Givenchy Organza Indécence and L'Occitane en Provence Ambre have a close profile.
