What does Belle Âme smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind and summer a small minority. Evening and leisure wear come first. It reads slightly more masculine to voters, though a fair share call it feminine.

It opens with iris, Moroccan orris root and Madagascan ginger, cool, spicy and powdery. In the heart, Trinidad cocoa, frankincense and cardamom sweeten it and add a smoky warmth. The base of tonka bean, vanilla, musk and sandalwood dries down creamy and woody.
