AnimalWhat does Courtesan smell like?
Most voters pick it for autumn and winter, mainly for evenings and nights out. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, and most voters find it feminine.
It opens with cinnamon, clove, cardamom and bergamot, giving a spiced, fruity feel. Magnolia, jasmine and rose lead the heart. The base turns sweet with dark chocolate, cocoa, caramel and vanilla, softened by sandalwood and amber. Its profile is close to Mon Amour and Femme de Montblanc.
