What does Aphrodisiac smell like?

The notes are not split into top, heart and base, so the perfume reads as a single whole. Bulgarian rose and ylang-ylang form a floral backbone, while heliotropin pulls it toward a powdery, creamy sweetness. Sandalwood and patchouli add a woody floor, and myrrh deepens the oriental, gourmand side. Bergamot and hedione lighten it slightly.

Voters find its longevity very strong and its sillage strong. Votes gather around fall, spring and winter, with summer well behind. Leisure and evening are the most chosen uses, followed by a night out. Initio Psychedelic Love and Initio Rehab have a close profile.
