Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters suggest it for evening and night-out wear, while office and daily use stay in the background. It reads slightly more feminine than masculine, though a good share of votes call it masculine.
Blossoms set the opening, then jasmine and carnation settle into the heart, with musk underneath. The accords are floral and sweet, with spicy, animal and powdery sides added. Serge Lutens Fils de joie and Al Rehab Jasmin Musk have a close profile.
