Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily and leisure wear lead, with evening and night out following. Most voters read it as feminine.
The top is ylang-ylang and lily, giving a floral, green start, with gardenia at the heart. The base of cashmeran, Bourbon vanilla and black leather sweetens it and settles it into a powdery, creamy finish, with woody and spicy touches in the background. Isabey Perle de Gardénia and Astier de Villatte Les Nuits have a close profile.
