What does Desire II smell like?

Mango, pineapple and guava set a sweet, juicy fruit tone, while apple blossom and exotic blossoms pull it towards the floral side. Dried fruits add a gourmand softness, cedarwood and vetiver give it a woody base, and musk rounds everything off with a creamy finish.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Voters lean towards summer and spring and pick leisure most often, though evening and night out also draw votes. It reads more feminine to most voters, with a fair share calling it masculine. Xerjoff Cruz del Sur II and Rasasi Hawas Sapphire have a close profile.
