What does Dark pour Femme smell like?

It opens with mandarin orange, bergamot and violet, with citrus notes adding freshness. The heart brings together jasmine sambac, iris, gardenia and rosebud into a floral whole. In the base, vanilla, cedarwood and sandalwood sweeten the scent and settle it on a creamy, lightly woody ground, while fruity and gourmand shades support the sweetness.

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick fall, winter and spring, with summer chosen less often. It leans towards leisure, nights out and daily wear, and most voters read it as feminine. The Merchant Of Venice Vanilla Orchid (Eau de Toilette) and Diesel Loverdose have a close profile.
