What does Dance of the Dawn smell like?

The top is mandarin orange, pink pepper leaf and black pepper, a citrus brightness with a peppery warmth. In the heart, pink pepper, driftwood and Diviniris® come forward; the base of Indonesian patchouli and frankincense sets an earthy, smoky ground that vanilla sweetens. Powdery and synthetic touches run through the accords.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, and it reads neither clearly feminine nor masculine, with votes split almost evenly. Azzaro Visit for Men (Eau de Toilette) and Zadig & Voltaire This Is Him! have a close profile.
