Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters recommend autumn, spring and winter, with summer chosen less often. It leans towards leisure time, nights out and evenings. Although it is unisex, nearly half of voters read it as feminine.
It opens with pink pepper, green notes and orange blossom, which give a lightly spicy, fresh start. The heart of Turkish rose, orris root and jasmine sambac is floral and powdery. In the base, patchouli, Bourbon vanilla and blackcurrant sweeten it, drying down into a fruity, gourmand warmth. Lancôme La Vie est Belle Eau de Parfum and Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
