What does Ivory Temptation (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

The top is white peach, mandarin orange, nectarine and cardamom, a fruity sweetness quickly tempered by spice. In the heart, ylang-ylang, rose, orange blossom, cinnamon and clove add a floral, spicy warmth. The base of sandalwood, vetiver, tonka bean and Kashmiri musk settles into a woody, powdery, oriental finish.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the number of votes is small, so treat that as tentative. Its sweet, powdery character suits men and women alike. Joop! Joop! Homme and Azzaro Oh la la have a close profile.
