CreamyWhat does Exquise Tentation (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
It opens bright and fruity with bergamot, pink pepper and blackcurrant. Freesia, lily of the valley, iris and rose give the heart a soft floral feel. In the base, bitter almond, vanilla, patchouli and praliné sweeten the scent into a creamy, gourmand finish, with a synthetic sheen in the background.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind. Evening, night out and leisure are the occasions it suits best. About half of voters find it feminine, though it is classed as unisex. Aubusson Radiant Iris and ELLE Mira have a close profile.
