What does Aphrodisiac Fire smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick evenings and nights out, though it also finds a place in leisure and daily wear. Masculine and feminine votes are close, so it sits comfortably on either side.

The sweet, gourmand side comes from vanilla, Peru balsam and chestnut, while clove, pink pepper and juniper berry add spice. Sandalwood, gaiac wood and myrrh give a smoky, creamy woodiness. Rose, ylang-ylang and orange blossom soften the dense mix with a floral note. Maison Margiela By the Fireplace and SW19 9pm have a close profile.
