Notorious by Ralph Lauren, released in 2008 and composed by Olivier Gillotin, is a sweet, dark-edged floral. People agree it is sweet and floral, and a minority also find it spicy, woody, musky and citrusy.
The opening is lively, with pink pepper for a light spice, black currant for tart fruit and bergamot for a citrus lift. In the heart, peony gives a fresh pink floral tone, carnation adds a clove-like spice, and white chocolate brings a creamy, sweet softness that sets the gourmand mood. The base is warm and powdery: patchouli adds an earthy depth, vanilla sweetness, orris root a cool, cosmetic powder and musk a smooth finish.
Most wearers report moderate longevity and a moderate trail, staying fairly close. Votes favour winter and autumn and lean towards evening, so it suits dinners, parties and cold-weather nights. It fits someone who likes a sweet, slightly retro floral with a chocolate-tinged, powdery base.
