What does Divine-Issime smell like?

Tuberose, orange blossom, patchouli and jasmine make up the top notes, giving a fresh but full floral start. Tonka bean and pink pepper sit in the heart, and vanilla sweetness settles over the base. The powdery and oriental accords come through clearly, while the animal and synthetic touches stay in the background.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, with winter getting fewer votes. It leans towards daily wear, and voters also place it at work, in the evening and on nights out. Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium (Eau de Parfum) and Carolina Herrera Good Girl Midnight have a close profile.
