Pear and bergamot give the opening a fresh, fruity start. In the heart, iris brings a powdery, creamy softness. The base of patchouli, tonka bean and vetiver follows; tonka adds sweetness while patchouli and vetiver set a dry, spicy ground. A synthetic texture also runs through the accords.
The sample of votes is small, but longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. It reads comfortably on both men and women. Anyone after a close profile could also look at Isabelle Ariana Parfums Reine de Saba and Zara Classic 6.0.
