What does Ipnotica smell like?

Tuberose and Indian jasmine sambac carry the floral side, while Italian neroli and Mediterranean fruits add a fresh, fruity lift. Bourbon vanilla and musk soften and sweeten it, with Singapore patchouli staying in the background. The overall feel is powdery and creamy.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick spring and fall, and night out and evening are the most chosen occasions. It reads more feminine to most, though some find it masculine. Lanoé Ibiza Love and Rituals Cloudscape have a close profile.
