Who will like Brilliant Woman No 2
The strongest accord is warm spicy (100%), followed by fruity and sweet. You will probably like it if you enjoy warm spicy and fruity smells and notes like dark chocolate and benzoin. Less obvious notes include pear, sesame and musk.
For work or for evenings
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its warm spicy side feels cosy and rich after dark.
Longevity on skin
It fades fairly fast, after about 1 to 3 hours on skin, so you may want to spray it again later. Jil Sander Sun and Zoologist Perfumes Bee unisex last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like benzoin and sandalwood are the part that stays longest on the skin.
