What does Feu de Bengale (2016) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall, winter and spring, with summer a small minority. It leans towards evenings, leisure time and nights out, and also reaches into daily and office wear. Half of voters read it as feminine, while the rest split between modern, classic and masculine.

The top opens with fig, davana and almond, so the sweetness arrives early. Towards the heart, tolu balm, Italian mandarin orange, iris and Bulgarian rose add a floral, resinous softness. The base of musk, tonka bean and Bourbon vanilla leaves it warm, creamy and gourmand.
