What does Mousse au Café smell like?

It leans towards autumn and winter, which most voters pick. It is worn for leisure, evenings and nights out, and the office is mentioned least. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room.

It opens soft and creamy with cream and milk. Coconut, heliotrope and caramel then sweeten the heart and add a powdery smoothness. Vanilla and sandalwood settle underneath, drying down woody and lightly spicy. The overall feel is sweet and oriental, with a slightly synthetic edge.
