What does Oriental Essence - Poème d'Azar smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also works for daytime. Most voters call its character feminine. It has been discontinued.

It opens with blackcurrant, Florentine iris and rhubarb, fruity and slightly powdery. Rose, almond milk and pomegranate form the heart, softening it into something creamy. Patchouli, tonka bean and vanilla anchor the dry-down in a sweet, warm, oriental mood.
