What does Sacred Groove smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn, spring and winter, and leisure, night out and evening wear lead. The character votes lean feminine, though it is classed as unisex.

It opens with bitter orange and angelica root. The heart of iris, Turkish rose, lavender, jasmine and labdanum forms a floral, powdery core. Myrrh, tonka bean, vanilla and amber sweeten and warm the base. Birkholz Secret Soul and Lattafa His Confession have a close profile.
