What does Paradise Lost smell like?

Neroli and orange give the top a bright citrus lift, while passion fruit adds juicy sweetness and Mysore sandalwood brings a soft woodiness to the heart. In the base, ambergris, musk, sugar and oakmoss settle it into a smooth, sweet footing without losing the freshness.

Longevity and sillage are rated as good, though only a few people have voted, so that picture is still tentative. It reads easily on anyone, with a youthful, airy profile. Fresh Citron de Vigne and Jo Malone Tangy Rhubarb have a close profile.
