What does Athena (2023) smell like?

The opening is fresh, with rose and bergamot. In the heart, lily, peony, raspberry and amber take over; the raspberry sweetens the florals while the amber softens them. The base brings rose back alongside sandalwood and white musk, settling into a creamy finish. The overall impression is fresh, sweet and slightly synthetic.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are tentative. It reads as neither distinctly masculine nor feminine. Fleur Fatale by KKW Fragrance and DKNY Be Delicious City Blossom Rooftop Peony have a close profile.
