What does 7ᵉ Sens / Septième Sens (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and evening or a night out, though spring is not far behind. Most read it as feminine and classic, while a fair share call it masculine.

It opens on bergamot, jasmine, ylang-ylang, rose and aldehydes for a floral start. Plum, peach and honey in the heart pull it towards fruity and sweet. The base of vetiver, sandalwood, patchouli, amber, musk and moss adds a woody, resinous, animal depth, with coriander bringing a spicy touch.
