What does Pillow Talk smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters recommend fall and winter, with spring not far behind, and it is chosen mainly for evenings, nights out and leisure time. It leans feminine in character, though some voters call it masculine.

It opens with bergamot, orange and cinnamon shining together. Towards the heart, amyris bark, ylang-ylang and iris bring a floral, powdery softness. In the base, gaiac wood, patchouli, Peru balsam and musk settle into a woody, sweet and resinous warmth.
