Most voters pick winter and fall, and it is named most often for evenings and nights out, though leisure and daily wear are close behind. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. It is unisex, yet most voters read it as feminine.
It opens on benzoin, and in the heart opoponax, honey and coumarin deepen the sweetness. In the base, vanilla absolute settles in with patchouli. A gourmand, powdery sweetness is balanced by spicy, smoky and resinous touches.
