What does Sapphire smell like?

It lasts very strongly and projects strongly. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and see it as an evening or night-out perfume. More voters call it masculine than feminine, though the feminine share is far from small, so it sits in between. Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium (Eau de Parfum) and Chopard Wish (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.

It opens fruity and spicy with blackcurrant, pink pepper and rum. In the heart, orange blossom and jasmine add a floral side, while frankincense and cedarwood keep it slightly resinous and woody. The base of amber, tonka bean and vanilla leaves it creamy, powdery and sweet.
