What does Carnal Bliss smell like?

The top notes of aldehydes, freesia, lemon and bergamot give a fresh, citrusy start. In the heart, jasmine sambac, heliotrope and orris butter add a floral, powdery softness. The base brings vanilla sweetness, while cashmere wood, sandalwood and musk set it on a warm, smooth footing. A synthetic accord gives it a clean, skin-like feel.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close to the wearer. Voters pick it mostly for daily wear and leisure, with business settings among the leading choices. Its unisex character sits comfortably on both men and women.
