What does Délice d'Épices / Spicy Delight smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it suits someone who wants a scent that stays close rather than filling a room. The number of votes is small, though, so these ratings are only a rough guide.

It opens with peach, blackcurrant, orange and lemon, a bright and fruity start. The heart brings apple, orchid, cinnamon, carnation and jasmine, with flowers and spice blending together. In the base, tonka bean, vanilla, cedar and sandalwood dry down sweet and resinous. The citrus freshness gradually gives way to a soft, gourmand, oriental warmth.
