What does Doux Ennui smell like?

Doux Ennui's longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring, with winter and summer close behind. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, and works for evenings too. It reads more feminine and modern, with fewer votes for masculine.

The top opens with apricot jam, mandarin orange and ylang-ylang. In the heart, ylang-ylang meets peach and salted butter, which sweetens the fruit and adds a creamy softness. The base of vanilla, osmanthus, benzoin, musk and amber dries down warm and sweet.
