What does The Bewitching Yasmine smell like?

It opens with cardamom and coffee, a spicy and faintly gourmand start. At the heart, jasmine and frankincense lead, and the floral side takes on a resinous warmth. Oud and vanilla settle into a sweet, woody, smoky base.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, while summer sits well behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and also works for leisure time. Most voters read it as feminine, though some find it masculine. Lattafa Raghba and Ormonde Jayne Muscat have a close profile.
