What does Criminal of Love smell like?

Guatemala cardamom and turmeric give it a spicy start. At the heart, Indian papyrus, Atlas cedar and Turkish rose absolute join floral and woody tones. The base of Serbian immortelle absolute, Somalian frankincense and Indonesian patchouli settles into an earthy, smoky, oriental sweetness.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter close behind and summer rarely chosen. Evening and night out are the favoured occasions. Votes on masculine and feminine character are close. Atelier Cologne Rose Anonyme and Sisley Soir d'Orient have a close profile.
