Winsome

Inspired by YSL Tuxedo Concentration: Eau de Parfum Season: Fall/Winter Fragrance Notes: Top: violet leaf, bergamot, coriander seeds Heart: rose, lily of the valley, black pepper Base: ambergris, patchouli, vanilla bourbon Overview: Winsome opens with violet leaf, bergamot, and coriander seeds in a slightly green, spiced accord that is immediately sophisticated and well-composed. The heart of rose, lily of the valley, and black pepper adds a floral complexity with a lively, slightly sharp edge from the pepper that keeps the florals from becoming too soft. The base of ambergris, patchouli, and vanilla bourbon settles into a warm, slightly powdery dry down that is genuinely elegant and long-lasting. Fall and winter, suited to formal occasions, evenings, and anyone who wants to explore the YSL Tuxedo DNA at an accessible price. Longevity runs 7 to 9 hours. A refined and well-executed composition from Maison Alhambra.
