What does Kayos smell like?
Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick fall and spring, with night out and evening the leading occasions and leisure close behind. On character, masculine and modern lead the votes.
It opens with mandarin orange, pink grapefruit, lemon and Brazilian orange for a sharp citrus burst. In the heart, plum and blue raspberry add fruity sweetness, softened by amber and tonka bean. The base of vanilla, sandalwood and nutmeg leaves a creamy, warm trail with a slightly synthetic sheen.
