What does Stricnina smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn close behind. It is mostly worn for leisure and nights out. Half of the voters read it as feminine, and many call it modern.

Bergamot and lemon open alongside blackcurrant and passion fruit for a fresh, fruity start. The heart brings peach, raspberry, ylang-ylang and magnolia absolute. In the base, brown sugar, vanilla and amber sweeten it, while patchouli and sandalwood steady it. The result is gourmand and creamy.
