What does Smart smell like?

It opens with vanilla and violet leaf together: the sweetness is there from the first moment, but a green, fresh edge keeps it light. In the heart, jasmine and sandalwood build a floral and woody line, and the base of suede and white musk finishes it with a powdery, slightly leathery softness.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters suggest autumn and spring, and it leans towards daily, office and leisure wear. Its character is mostly seen as feminine. Mancera Feminity and Evody Cuir Blanc have a close profile.
