What does Precious Moment (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters point to fall and winter, then spring, and it is chosen most often for evenings and nights out, though leisure and office wear get votes too. Feminine and masculine votes are almost even, so it sits comfortably on either side.

It opens with cardamom and dried fruits. In the heart, tuberose, tobacco flower and saffron blossom build a sweet floral core, while patchouli in the base adds a woody, oriental depth. Kenzo Jungle L'Éléphant and Bond No. 9 Chinatown have a close profile.
