What does Blue Temptation smell like?
The top pairs the spicy bite of black pepper with the sharpness of lemon, while elemi resin adds a faint resinous depth. In the heart, green apple brings a fruity freshness and orange blossom a soft floral touch. Patchouli and tonka bean sweeten the base and ground it in wood. The overall impression is fresh and sweet, with a slightly synthetic edge.
Longevity and sillage both sit at a moderate level, though the number of ratings is small, so treat them as a rough guide. It reads masculine, and its fresh build suits everyday wear. Jacques Bogart Silver Scent Pure and Cyrus Writer have a close profile.
