How Confidential Platinum Smells: Notes & Development

Confidential Platinum opens with Lemon, Bergamot and Pepper — the first impression as it hits the skin. Once that burns off, usually inside the first half hour, the heart turns to Pineapple, Apple and Jasmine. What lingers on skin and clothing hours later is the base: Oakmoss, Patchouli, Musk and Amberwood.
