What does Solution No. 9 smell like?

It opens with bitter almond and bergamot: the almond sets the sweet, gourmand tone and the bergamot lightens it a little. In the heart, sesame, tea and Egyptian jasmine bring a soft, floral and spicy touch. The base of tonka bean, Virginia cedar, rice and musk dries down into a powdery, creamy sweetness.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it is noticed up close without filling a room. The vote count is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. Prada Infusion d'Amande and Acca Kappa Vaniglia Fior di Mandorlo have a close profile.
