ResinousWhat does Secrets of Love - Passion smell like?
It opens with oud, cinnamon and orange, the orange lightly brightening the spice. In the heart, caramel and cashmere soften things into a creamy, gourmand sweetness. The base of musk, patchouli, benzoin and sandalwood sets a woody, oriental foundation.
Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. Most voters pick winter and fall, with night-out and evening wear leading. Though unisex, most voters read it as feminine. Kayali Invite Only Amber | 23 and Label Maltol & Cinnamon have a close profile.
