What does Changing Constance smell like?

It opens with a warm, spicy touch from cardamom and pimento. Salted caramel takes over in the heart and sweetens the whole. In the base, cashmeran, tobacco and vanilla pull it towards a creamy, woody, oriental character.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and few suggest it for summer. It is mostly recommended for evenings, leisure time and nights out. It mostly reads as feminine. Fragrance Du Bois Minuit et Demi and Tom Ford Noir Extreme (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
