What does La Belle et L'Ocelot (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with Sicilian bitter orange blossom, davana and elemi resin, while osmanthus concrete, rose and night-blooming jasmine build the floral heart. The base of benzoin, frankincense and patchouli absolute weighs in: the scent dries down sweet, resinous and lightly smoky with a chypre feel, with fruity and earthy touches in the background.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring and summer chosen less; night out, evening and leisure lead the occasions. Most voters find it feminine. Parfume Noire Elve's Magic and Bois 1920 Vento nel Vento have a close profile.
