What does Kismet (2016) smell like?

Bergamot, petitgrain and lemon keep the opening light. In the heart, patchouli joins Bulgarian rose and Rosa centifolia absolute for a weightier floral core. The base of opoponax, labdanum and Bourbon vanilla turns resinous, creamy and sweet, with spicy and powdery touches running through the shift.

Longevity and sillage are rated as good. Most voters pick autumn, winter and spring, with summer well behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, though daytime and leisure wear also have their place. Most voters read it as feminine and classic.
