Freesia and rose give it a floral opening; patchouli and tonka bean follow in the heart, and the scent slowly turns sweeter. Musk, vanilla and cedarwood sit at the base, leaving a powdery, creamy, lightly woody and gourmand trail.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Voters place it mostly in leisure, daily and evening wear. As a unisex scent, it sits comfortably on both women and men.
