What does Balqis Reine de Saba smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters recommend it for winter, fall and spring, with summer well behind. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, and suits nights out and the office too. Voters read it as feminine more than anything else, though plenty call it classic or modern.

The top of mandarin orange, bergamot and magnolia gives a bright, fruity opening. Black pepper adds spice in the heart, while heliotrope and osmanthus absolute turn the floral side powdery and creamy. The base of Indonesian patchouli, sandalwood, musk and vanilla settles into a warm, woody sweetness.
