What does Monaco Donna smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn, winter and spring, while summer sits well behind. It leans towards evenings, leisure time and nights out, and over half of voters read it as feminine.

Lemon and red berries open it with a sweet, fruity lift. The heart is led by rose, heliotrope, cinnamon and frankincense, with the last two adding a spicy, faintly smoky edge. Saffron, sandalwood, musk, vanilla and patchouli settle it onto a woody, powdery, creamy and earthy base.
