What does Datura Blanche smell like?

The floral side leads: Indian tuberose and heliotrope bring a soft, powdery feel, while datura adds depth to the bloom. Bourbon vanilla and tonka bean pull the scent towards a gourmand sweetness, and bitter almond tempers it with a slightly spicy, oriental edge.

Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring a close third, and evening and night-out wear suit it best. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters read it as clearly feminine. Serge Lutens Datura Noir and Boucheron Vanille de Zanzibar have a close profile.
