What does Experimental: First Time smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. There are no season or occasion votes to point to a particular time of wear, and nothing in the profile pushes it clearly toward a masculine or feminine reading.

The top holds rock sugar and gourmand notes, the heart brings Peru balsam, rose syrup and rose, and the base settles into cistus, hazelnut, pistachio and patchouli. The result is floral and sweet with a powdery, creamy texture over a woody, earthy base. Chanel Coromandel (Eau de Parfum) and Diptyque Benjoin Bohème have a close profile.
