6.9

Ted Lapidus · 2005

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Ted Lapidus Silk Way is a floral, fruity scent with a sweet, powdery and lightly spicy character, made for women and now discontinued. Its longevity and sillage are moderate, so it neither dominates a room nor disappears quickly. Most voters place it in leisure and daily wear, with some choosing it for evenings and the office. Red peach, citrus fruits and apple open it fresh and fruity. Peony and jasmine form a floral heart, while Atlas cedar and Ceylonese cinnamon add a woody, spicy edge. Frankincense, white musk, Bourbon vanilla and ambergris sweeten the base and settle it into a soft, powdery finish.
