What does Le Somptueux - Private Edition smell like?

It opens with orange blossom, saffron and cistus. The heart of iris, jasmine and rose adds a powdery floral note, with cinnamon bringing spice. In the base, sandalwood, oud, vanilla and amber sweeten it and settle it onto a resinous, woody ground, while brown leather leaves a faint leathery trace.

Most voters pick fall and winter and link it to evenings and nights out. Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Voters lean feminine, though a sizeable share call it masculine. Keiko Mecheri Bois Satin and Montale Aoud Purple Rose have a close profile.
