What does Épine Mortelle (2014) smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters place it in daily wear and office use, with leisure and evenings out following behind.

The opening is peppery and warm, with aniseed, nutmeg and cumin adding spice. In the heart, blackcurrant, damask rose, Rosa centifolia, mimosa and violet bring a floral, fruity softness. The base of vanilla and musk sweetens it and leaves a powdery finish.
