What does Rules of Attraction smell like?

The notes have no top, heart and base split, so the perfume reads as one whole. White flowers (jasmine, tuberose, gardenia) meet the powdery, aldehydic brightness of iris and neroli. Beneath them, leather, civet, cumin and animalic notes bring a warm, spicy and slightly dirty edge, while musk and vanilla soften it.

Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage good. It is made for both men and women. Its dense, characterful build is less suited to those who prefer light, simple scents. Juliette Has A Gun Citizen Queen and Yves Saint Laurent Kouros (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
