What does Ralph Hot smell like?

In the top, the brightness of almond blossom and mandarin orange is warmed by cinnamon. The heart softens with mocha cream and milk alongside fig, jasmine and honeysuckle. Amber, musk, maple and vanilla form a base that settles into a powdery, woody, oriental sweetness.

Now discontinued, it wears with moderate longevity and moderate sillage. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter not far behind. It is chosen mostly for leisure and daily wear, and evenings suit it as well.
