From your scent profile
Paloma Picasso Tentations Eau de Parfum is a floral, spicy scent that sets the fruity freshness of peach and bergamot against the warmth of jasmine, rose and cinnamon.
Skunky's take: Floral accords up front; keep it from the bees.

What does Tentations (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
It opens with pepper, bergamot, peach and orange blossom, the fruit kept in check by spice. Jasmine and rose carry the floral heart, while cinnamon and clove add a warm edge. The base settles into a woody, resinous and sweet footing of frankincense, labdanum, sandalwood and tonka bean.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening, night out and leisure wear lead the occasions. It reads feminine and classic. Fendi Asja and Nabeel Khamis Anis share a close profile.
