What does Tainted Love No. 62 smell like?

Sandalwood, orchid, vanilla and white tea read as one blend. The floral side comes from the orchid, vanilla sweetens it into a creamy gourmand, and sandalwood gives a woody, powdery base. Spicy and oriental touches stay in the background, and the white tea softens the sweetness slightly.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, and also works for evenings and nights out. Most voters find it feminine. Elizabeth and James Nirvana Black (Eau de Parfum) and Zara Boost My Feelings - No. 02 Cozy Serenade have a close profile.
