Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though with few votes these impressions are tentative. It sits comfortably on men and women alike, with a soft, rounded profile.
It opens with heliotrope, then tonka bean and violet take the heart. In the base, vanilla, sandalwood and white musk soften everything, while leather adds a faint dryness in the background. The accords lean floral, fruity and gourmand, with spicy and synthetic touches alongside.
