What does Satin Doll smell like?

It opens with elemi resin, black pepper and pink pepper, which give a spicy, fresh feel. In the heart, tuberose, iris, rose and jasmine bring a floral, powdery side. The base of myrrh, opoponax, patchouli, frankincense and oakmoss settles into something resinous, woody and slightly sweet.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters point to spring and fall, and it is worn for daily use, nights out and the office alike. Most voters read it as feminine, with some seeing a classic character. Cacharel Anaïs Anaïs and Franck Boclet Chypre have a close profile.
