What does Love Explosion smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, though spring is not far behind. It leans towards daily and leisure wear, with evening and night out following, and voters mostly read it as feminine and modern.

The opening is fresh and floral, with peony, bergamot and bitter orange. Rose, amber and praliné in the heart add sweetness, and the dry-down of musk, vanilla and moss turns powdery, creamy and gourmand. Louis Varel Extreme Amber and Kenzo L'Eau de Kenzo Amour have a close profile.
