How does it perform?
From 36 community ratings, all out of 10.
Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

CreamyWhat does Secret Joly (2018) smell like?
It opens with jasmine and hyacinth, and the heart deepens the floral side with jasmine sambac, tuberose, ylang-ylang and gardenia. The base of benzoin, honey, tobacco leaf and civet sweetens it and dries down warm and animalic.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and evening, night out and leisure lead the occasions. It reads mostly feminine and classic. Victor de Manoz Rubí Rojo and Illuminum Moroccan Tuberose have a close profile.
