What does Unica smell like?

Voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate, though the small number of votes makes this only a rough guide. It is presented as a women's perfume.

It opens with star anise, shiso leaf and pink pepper, giving a spicy, green freshness. The heart of jasmine sambac, purple peony and patchouli forms a floral body. In the base, musk, cedarwood and praliné finish it with a woody, powdery and creamy softness.
