What does Immortelle Marilyn smell like?

It opens with ylang-ylang, hazelnut, raspberry and everlasting flower, where fruity sweetness meets the soft, edible tone of the hazelnut. In the heart, leather, iris and nutmeg add a powdery, spicy, leathery edge. The base of musk, immortelle absolute and ambroxan settles it onto a warm, soft footing.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, though spring and summer are not far behind. It leans towards leisure, daily wear and nights out, and reads as a feminine scent.
