Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind and summer the least chosen. It leans towards evenings and nights out, yet it also works for leisure and the office. Those who call it feminine are in the majority.

The opening is mandarin orange, bergamot and almond, and the heart of ylang-ylang, orange blossom and Turkish rose adds a soft floral layer. The base of vanilla, praliné and tonka bean turns sweet, creamy and powdery, while cedar, sandalwood and patchouli give it a woody, spicy edge.
