What does Oriental Sans Souci smell like?

Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards leisure, evening and nights out. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Feminine and masculine votes are close, and it also reads as classic.

Bergamot, lemon and basil give it a fresh, spicy opening. In the heart, rose absolute, jasmine, neroli and ylang-ylang build a floral body, with vanilla adding sweetness. The base of patchouli, tonka bean, ambergris and oakmoss leaves it woody and warm.
