What does Secret du Nil smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and spring, though winter has a fair share too. It leans toward daily wear, leisure time and evenings. Although unisex, voters most often read its character as feminine.

It opens with the fresh citrus of bitter orange, bergamot and bitter almond. In the heart, neroli and orange soften around roasted almond and honey. The base of musk, cedar, sugar powder and vanilla leaves a creamy, gourmand sweetness. Lattafa Ana Abiyedh and Xerjoff Blue Hope have a close profile.
