What does Inside Out (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn, followed by spring and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Votes split between feminine and masculine, so it sits comfortably in between.

The top opens fruity and bright with sorbet, blackcurrant bud, passion fruit and mandarin orange. In the heart, frangipani and magnolia give a floral body, while rosemary, absinth and absinthe wormwood add a spicy, herbal edge. The base closes creamy and gourmand with vanilla ice cream.
