What does Ypno (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring in third place. It leans towards nights out, daily wear and evenings. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters read it as feminine, though a fair number call it classic.

Peach and pear give it a fruity sweetness, while blackcurrant sharpens that sweetness a little. Floral notes are joined by spices, amber, vanilla and woods, and the overall feel is sweet, woody and powdery, with an oriental warmth. The notes are not split into layers and read as one blend.
