What does Mademoiselle Twist smell like?

It opens with blackcurrant, mandarin orange and Nepalese sichuan pepper: a fruity, tangy start with a light spicy edge. In the heart, jasmine and praliné take over, moving the scent from floral to gourmand. Vanilla and musk in the base leave a powdery, creamy sweetness.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin through the day. Most voters pick fall and winter, then spring; summer gets little. It leans towards evenings and nights out, yet suits daily and business wear too.
