What does Bosphorus Pearl (Extrait de Parfum) smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is worn for leisure, evenings and nights out. Longevity and sillage are rated good, though from a small number of votes. Most see it as feminine, yet it is classed as unisex.

It starts with violet, lily of the valley and rose, a fresh floral opening lightened by citrus and fruity touches. The heart brings cedarwood, jasmine tea and ylang-ylang. In the base, white musk, musk, dry woods and amber settle it into a sweet, creamy finish. Ormonde Jayne Levant and Ajmal Violet Musc share a close profile.
