What does Charade smell like?

French tuberose and ylang-ylang form a floral core, sweetened by honey and amber. Sandalwood and leather give it a woody, leathery base, while patchouli, moss and vetiver add a chypre edge. The spicy, oriental side comes through in the styrax and Siam benzoin.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong, and most voters find it long-lasting. Votes cluster around leisure, evening and night out, with business and daily wear further behind. It reads equally well on men and women. Esteban Cuir and El Nabil Amber of Yemen have a close profile.
