To Be Born To Shine Woman

To Be Born to Shine Woman by Police is a gourmand floral with distinct sweet and creamy notes, built around vanilla, coffee, and warm spices. It opens with a powdery apple blossom and citrusy bergamot, giving it a light, fresh feel that evolves into a mature, velvety vanilla base. The coffee is never bold in the top notes but asserts itself in the dry down, blending with patchouli, sandalwood, and cashmere wood to create a softly spiced, balsamic warmth. The fragrance presents a smooth, layered progression—lactonic and dessert-like in the heart, reminiscent of luxury gourmands such as Black Opium or T. LeClerc Le Parfum Poudre. It projects moderately, with some users noting strong sillage, especially on clothing, where it lingers for days. While immediate sillage on skin may be moderate, the scent evolves over time and gains depth, particularly in cooler weather. Its profile is modern and approachable, ideal for fall and winter, though several users note it is wearable in spring as well. It places well within the realm of a sweet, warm, generic dupe for Black Opium, performing well for those seeking a cost-effective alternative with a mature, affordable appeal.
