What does Black XS L.A. for Her smell like?

The top holds bitter orange, cranberry, tamarind leaf and coconut water, giving a bright, slightly sour fruit opening. In the heart, orchid, Christmas rose and rum add a floral, spicy note, and the base of vanilla, amber and woody notes turns powdery and creamy.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though few people have voted, so treat that loosely. The sweet, oriental side of the accords should show most in the evening and in cooler weather. It is made for women.
