This star fragrance belongs to the oriental-powdery scents, and I can only confirm that.
It starts off spicy and sweet, with the cinnamon in the top note being quite prominent.
The honey comes through nicely, and it is a beautiful dark honey. Neroli is also strongly present.
The scent aura reminds me of Iris by Arnim and Roma Imperiale, but here it is even stronger.
I think this fragrance suits Ms. Berben, who is still a beautiful woman.
The scent becomes even more intense and spicy over time, and soon a delicate bitter note can be detected, which ensures that the fragrance does not become too sweet.
This is how I imagine an oriental fragrance: spicy, strong, and sweet, without drifting into a more or less whorish scent.
However, the honey remains very dominant.
Towards the base, it becomes softer and more powdery, with vanilla and sandalwood joining in, but it remains very strong for a long time.
I can't really complain about this fragrance. I like it, as it feels like heavy dark velvet, but it doesn't quite fall into my preferred category.
