What does Une Île, Un Rêve smell like?

The opening is herbal and resinous, with rosemary, eucalyptus and cistus. The heart turns floral and dense with Moroccan jasmine, ylang-ylang, Moroccan orange tree and tuberose. The base of beeswax, patchouli, Siam benzoin and vanilla adds a sweet warmth with animal, earthy and smoky shades, while powdery and spicy touches stay in the background.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Most voters read it as feminine. Profumi del Forte Versilia Vintage - Ambra Mediterranea and Comme des Garçons Daphne have a close profile.
