What does Grenadille d'Afrique smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close to the skin with a present but unobtrusive trail. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter and summer trailing behind. It leans towards leisure, business and daily wear. Voters read it as more masculine, though it remains unisex.

It opens with bergamot and lavender. In the heart, violet and juniper add a green, lightly spicy turn. The base settles into African grenadill, vetiver and labdanum, while white tea, musk and vanilla soften that woody, earthy ground and sweeten it slightly. Rania J. Lavande 44 and Miguel Matos Germaine have a close profile.
