What does Rykiel Woman (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Voters place it mostly in business and daily wear, then night out and evening. It is made for women.

The top shows date, pink pepper and violet. The heart pairs jasmine and Bulgarian rose with black pepper and sunflower. In the base, musk, leather and amber tie the floral, sweet, powdery body to a woody, resinous, leathery warmth.
