What does Tainted Love smell like?

Raspberry opens with a sweet, slightly tart fruit note. In the heart, rose and violet lead, setting the floral structure on a powdery, creamy base. Musk in the base softens everything, while green and synthetic touches give the scent a cool, clean edge.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. Most pick spring, followed by autumn, and leisure wear leads, with night out and business close behind. Most voters read it as feminine. Dior Rose Kabuki and Nishane Muskane have a close profile.
