Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening and night out lead the occasions, with leisure and daily wear close behind. Most voters call it feminine, and some see it as classic.
Bergamot, plum and mandarin orange open it with fresh fruit. The heart carries peach, rose and jasmine in a floral vein. In the base, vanilla, benzoin and sandalwood sweeten it and settle into a powdery, resinous, woody warmth. Stendhal Ambre Sublime and Hervé Léger Hervé Léger have a close profile.
