PowderyWhat does Some Like It Hot smell like?
Lychee gives it a fruity sweetness, Turkish rose holds that in a floral frame, and hazelnut adds a soft, woody warmth. Green, spicy and powdery shades also show in the accords, and the whole reads sweet but balanced.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though with few votes these ratings are only a rough guide. It is positioned as a women's fragrance. Goutal Ce Soir ou Jamais and Parfums MDCI Rose de Siwa have a close profile.
