Skunky's take: A night owl's pick; made for evenings out.

SmokyWhat does Sex & Jasmine (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
It opens with Egyptian geranium and Indian jasmine sambac absolute. In the heart, Egyptian neroli and Indian Bourbon vanilla join the jasmine and sweeten the floral core. The base of ambergris, Hawaiian sandalwood and Indian patchouli carries it into a warm, woody drydown, where the animalic and smoky sides show.
Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so that reading is tentative. The dense florals and warm base suit men and women alike. Louis Vuitton Les Sables Roses and Arte Profumi Harem Soirée have a close profile.
