What does Queen smell like?

It opens with bergamot and mandarin orange, with jasmine, coriander, pink pepper, cognac and tequila at the heart. The base holds vanilla, tonka bean, sandalwood, patchouli, musk and frankincense. A floral, fruity core meets a sweet, gourmand warmth, softened by powdery and smoky touches.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also works for daily wear. Most voters find it feminine, and some call it classic.
