What does Semiramis (Parfum de Toilette) smell like?

It opens with bergamot, lemon and rosewood, and its heart brings together vetiver, patchouli, jasmine, iris and rose. Russian leather, sandalwood, benzoin and vanilla dominate the base, drying down creamy, powdery and warm.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters place it in night-out and evening wear, though daytime use gets votes too. It reads clearly feminine. Xerjoff Star Musk and Marbert Marbert Woman have a close profile.
