What does Frida's Thorns smell like?
Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it shines in the evening and on nights out. Its longevity and sillage are rated as good. It reads more feminine than masculine, though some voters call it masculine or modern.
It opens with raspberry and pear, giving a fresh fruity sweetness. The heart holds chocolate, rose and Mexican cocoa, with the rose turning the gourmand sweetness towards the floral. Patchouli and vanilla close it in the base, leaving a woody, powdery, warm sweetness. Dsquared² Potion for Woman and Benefit Under My Spell Noelle have a close profile.
