What does Belle Captive / Privé N°9 smell like?

It opens with iris and frankincense, and tonka bean and violet soften the heart. Sandalwood and benzoin dry down at the base. Floral, sweet and spicy accords sit under a woody, resinous, creamy warmth, so the overall impression is powdery and oriental.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and few choose summer. It leans towards evening and night-out wear, but also works for business and daily use. Voters read it as mostly feminine, though it is classed as unisex. Guerlain L'Heure Bleue (Eau de Parfum) and Amouage Reflection 45 have a close profile.
