What does Bitter Peach (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

The opening pairs cardamom and blood orange with the peach, giving it a lightly spiced, fresh frame. In the heart, heliotrope, jasmine, rum and cognac add a floral, boozy warmth. The base of vanilla, benzoin, tonka bean and sandalwood is creamy and sweet, while patchouli stays in the background and softens that sweetness.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, night out and daily wear lead the occasions. Most voters read it as feminine, though a sizable share finds it masculine.
