What does Black & Gold for Her smell like?

It opens with pink pepper, mandarin orange and pear, a bright, lightly spiced fruit note. In the heart, jasmine, rose and lily of the valley bring a floral, powdery softness. The base of vanilla, patchouli and musk sweetens the scent and leaves a gourmand, woody warmth.

Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, so it stays close and calm on the skin. Most voters pick it for leisure and daytime wear, with office use close behind; some also choose it for evenings and nights out.
