What does Dark Romance smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, though it is also worn for leisure. Most voters find it feminine and modern.

The scent reads as one sweet, gourmand whole. Vanilla, toffee and cream give it a soft, creamy warmth, while tonka bean pulls that warmth towards the oriental side. Jasmine carries the floral part, with a synthetic sheen running through it. Zara Rose Gourmand Women and Philosophy Fresh Cream Silk Cloud have a close profile.
