What does Reckless Essence de Parfum smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer. Leisure and evening wear lead, with daytime and office use also getting votes.

It opens with citrus in front. The heart weaves jasmine, neroli, rose and geranium into a floral veil. In the base, vanilla, benzoin, sandalwood and musk sweeten the scent into a creamy, powdery bed, with pink pepper and cinnamon adding spice. Three versions of Reckless share a close profile with it.
