What does Addiction smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening, leisure and night-out wear lead the occasions. Masculine and feminine votes sit almost level, so it leans neither way.

Heliotrope keeps the opening soft. The heart of cinnamon, vanilla and clove gives a sweet, spicy, gourmand feel. In the base, birch, gaiac wood and myrrh form a woody, resinous, smoky floor, deepened by styrax. Maison Margiela By the Fireplace and Atelier des Ors Rouge Sarây have a close profile.
