What does Atacama smell like?

The flowers lead: jasmine and freesia give a fresh, lightly soapy floral feel. Salt holds them against a marine sharpness, while clary sage adds a faint spicy edge. Cashmere wood and tonka bean soften everything into a woody, creamy sweetness, with a slightly synthetic brightness running through the accords.

Its sillage is moderate, though the number of votes is small, so that reading is tentative. Being unisex, it sits comfortably on both men and women. Floral Street Arizona Bloom and Téo Cabanel Sur La Plage / Peau Salée have a close profile.
