Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. It is worn mostly in the evening, on nights out and in leisure time, while daytime and office wear are less common. Voters are split between masculine and feminine, with a slight lean towards masculine.
The scent is dominated by a sweet, gourmand side: molasses and vanilla bring a dense sweetness, nutmeg adds spice, and woods set a woody, smoky base with a resinous warmth. Maison Margiela By the Fireplace and Zeromolecole Geco have a close profile.
