What does Hedonist smell like?

It opens fresh and fruity with mandarin orange, bergamot and peach, while rum adds a little warmth. At the heart, jasmine, osmanthus and orange blossom form a rounded floral core, with tobacco laying a dry tone underneath. In the base, vanilla sweetness is balanced by cedarwood and vetiver, and the scent dries down woody and oriental.

Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening and night out are the most chosen occasions. Most find it feminine. Laura Biagiotti Tempore Donna and Dolce & Gabbana The One (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
