What does Noble Potion smell like?

Most voters pick autumn and winter, while summer gets very few votes. It suits evenings and nights out best, and works for leisure and daily wear too. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate; most voters read it as feminine.

The top is nectarine, violet, apple blossom and Sicilian bergamot, a floral-fruity opening. In the heart, jasmine and orange blossom meet cinnamon, cardamom and clove, which adds a spicy warmth. The base of vanilla, musk absolue, sandalwood and Lebanon cedar leaves a sweet, powdery, woody trail. Escada Margaretha Ley and Laura Biagiotti Venezia have a close profile.
