About This Perfume
Think spiced vanilla cream with cedar smoke: that is Antonio Banderas The Secret Temptation. It opens with elemi resin, bergamot and green cardamom, moves into artemisia, basil and jasmine and settles on cedarwood, vetiver and musk. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette is best in spring, fall and winter and is easy to wear day or night. It suits casual days, the office and date nights. Released in 2017.
In the community's experience it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something gourmand and sweet for casual days.
- Sample first if: sweet is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike spicy fragrances.
Around $10.
