Created in 2002 by Donna Karan, this fragrance is richly mysterious and as smooth as silk. Notes include clove, rose, white pepper, Ethiopian incense, vanilla, amber, patchouli, and an unusual but delicious hint of saffron. Sensually exotic!

I tried this on recommendation because I wanted something "incense-y". Well, this fits that bill and more. It's absolutely delicious, and the saffron note is fantastic. Really, the entire fragrance is fantastic. It starts out with floral and spice and winds down into spicy wood, and then finally to an ambery woody base that's slightly sweeter (but not especially sweet; sweet in the sense of sweet exotic wood, not sweet in the sense of fruit or something sugary).

This is a scent that is very nearly unisex. There are plenty of men who can (and do!) wear this fragrance, as it's not particularly floral and it's fairly dark and gives a smoky feel that is appropriately masculine. If your chemistry works with it, I'd say this would be excellent for either male or female wearers (and I honestly don't give too much weight to the marketing of fragrances having a gender, anyway).

I find this fragrance wears very close to the skin, which, in my opinion, adds to the aura of mystery.

This is a really lovely fragrance, in my opinion. I tend to be more of a floral kind of gal, but the exotic woods and the saffron in this really appeal to me. It's refreshingly different and a really well-balanced fragrance. I love it from the top notes to the bottom. I'd recommend it to just about anyone who's looking for something a bit darker, a little mysterious, and on the unusual side.
