What does Babylonia smell like?

The top is blackcurrant, bergamot, pink pepper and davana, where fruity freshness is lightly cut by spice. In the heart, violet, bluebell, orris butter and orange blossom add a soft, powdery floral touch. The base of praliné, Siam benzoin, vanilla absolute and white musk carries it into a creamy, gourmand sweetness.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with fall not far behind. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, and voters mostly read it as feminine. Mugler Innocent and Guerlain L'Heure de Nuit have a close profile.
