What does The Embrace smell like?

Italian mandarin orange and Sicilian bergamot give it a sparkling citrus front. Honey, Bourbon vanilla and South African almond add a soft, creamy sweetness over it. Coffee absolute and Indian sesame absolute deepen the gourmand side, while Virginia cedar and Haitian vetiver keep it woody and a little spicy.

Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it suits evenings and nights out, as well as leisure time. Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters read it as feminine, though some find it masculine. Xerjoff Naxos and Nusuk Ateeq have a close profile.
