What does Shefon (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

The top holds rosemary, bergamot, lemon, tamarind, green and spicy notes, so it opens fresh, citrusy and lightly green. In the heart, rosewood, jasmine, iris, rose and lily of the valley add a soft, powdery floral layer. The base of musk, amber, cedarwood and patchouli dries it down onto a warm, woody ground, with an aquatic coolness running through.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the number of votes is small, so treat these as tentative. Voters rate its value for money highly. Its clean, cool character reads comfortably on both men and women. Casamorati Mefisto Gentiluomo and Acqua di Parma Colonia Essenza have a close profile.
