What does Privé (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with winter the least chosen season. Leisure, daily wear and business are the occasions that get the most votes. Most voters read it as feminine, though it was released as unisex.

It opens with mandarin orange, pink pepper, neroli and bergamot, bright and lightly spiced. Jasmine absolute, magnolia absolute and gardenia absolute carry a soft floral heart. In the base, vanilla absolute, sandalwood and musk settle it into a creamy, woody warmth.
