What does Bona Dea smell like?

Black rose and pear open the scent, with vanilla orchid at the heart. The base brings lychee and praliné sweetness, while frankincense, patchouli and papyrus add a smoky, dry depth. The fruity and gourmand sides soften over a powdery backdrop.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are tentative. With its sweet, gourmand character it reads as feminine. Lancôme La Nuit Trésor L'Eau de Parfum and La Rive Taste of Kiss have a close profile.
