Erotique by Dita Von Teese is a fragrance that harks back to the raunchy scents of the early 20th century but presents itself in a contemporary style.

Erotique opens with a wave of spice, namely cumin, which smells dry and dusty like golden sands.

Pepper and coriander add a savoury sense of warmth and fizz, accentuating the rich spice of the top notes.

In the base, Erotique displays rich stripes of woods. Sandalwood and gaic wood are the main players, each playing up their spicy, spiky facets leaving little room for the plush, creamy tones usually associated with such materials.

The leather continues to crack the whip right through to the far dry down and creates a soft bed for which the other notes can rest upon.
