What does Black XS L'Aphrodisiaque for Women smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good, though only a few voters have weighed in. It reads as a feminine scent.

It opens with tamarind, neroli and bitter orange, citrusy and fruity. Rose absolute, peach and datura sweeten the heart, and the base settles into ambergris, mandragora and vanilla. Spicy, woody, powdery and smoky touches run through it. Federico Mahora FM 335 and Kerosene R'oud Elements have a close profile.
