CreamyWhat does Dates Delight smell like?
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out. It reads neither clearly masculine nor feminine, sitting somewhere in between.
It opens with date and peony, then tonka bean, caramel and cinnamon come forward. The base holds Indonesian oud, labdanum, honey and benzoin, with sugar powder keeping that sweetness creamy and soft. The overall impression is a fruity, spicy, woody sweetness. Nobile 1942 Il Capriccio del Maestro and Lattafa Teriaq Intense have a close profile.
