What does Devil in Disguise smell like?
Rhubarb leaf and ginger open cool and lightly spicy. In the heart, neroli and magnolia bring the floral side, while musk, patchouli and vetiver settle it onto a woody, earthy base. Fruity touches and a slightly synthetic brightness also show up among its accords.
Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the occasions it leans towards. It is classed as a women's perfume, yet masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it reads as in between. Sospiro Mezzo and Sospiro Vibrato have a close profile.
