What does Born Screaming smell like?

The top notes set plastic, latex, cherry, blackberry and energy drink side by side, so the fruit arrives with an artificial gloss. Into the heart, datura, rose and smoke come forward, and in the base myrrh, patchouli and castoreum settle this sweet, gourmand structure onto a spicy, smoky footing.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters suggest spring, autumn and winter, with few choosing summer. It is picked most for nights out and leisure time. Masculine and feminine votes are equal, so the scent sits close to both.
