What does Miyako / ミヤコ smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with evenings and nights out leading and leisure wear not far behind. Half of those voting find it feminine, though a fair number read it as masculine.

It opens with cinnamon, frankincense and cardamom, a spicy, resinous start. The heart brings ylang-ylang, rose, jasmine, cedar and hinoki wood into a floral and woody line. The base of myrrh, benzoin, musk and amber finishes powdery, smoky and oriental. Yves Rocher Ispahan and Yves Saint Laurent Nu share a close profile.
