Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is chosen most for nights out and evenings. Many see it as feminine and classic.
It opens with clove, tangerine and plum in a fruity sweetness. In the heart, cinnamon, pepper and coriander add spice, while rose and ylang-ylang bring a soft floral note. The base leaves a resinous, powdery warmth of vanilla, myrrh and frankincense, with patchouli and cedar giving it a woody footing.
