What does Red Potion (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with orange, pot marigold and immortelle. The heart turns floral with orange blossom, rosemary and honeysuckle. Lichen, tonka bean and sandalwood sweeten the base into a woody, creamy warmth. Floral and sweet accords meet a spicy, oriental tone.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick autumn, with winter close behind, while spring and summer trail. It gets more votes for evening and nights out, and it is also worn at leisure. Most voters read it as feminine, though some call it masculine. La Rive Blurry and Ajmal Sacrifice for Her have a close profile.
