Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters point to autumn and winter, and it is picked mainly for evenings and nights out, less for daytime or the office. Feminine and masculine votes are close, so it sits between the two.
The opening is dominated by citrus. In the heart, violet meets cinnamon and nutmeg, and the spice warms the sweet, fruity core. The base of vanilla, musk, ambergris and sandalwood closes it soft, woody and oriental. Kinetic Perfumes L'Una and Aaron Terence Hughes Onyx have a close profile.
