What does Shiroi smell like?

The opening is bright with mandarin orange and neroli, while ylang-ylang adds a slightly sweeter edge. In the heart, May rose and white blossoms lead, and the floral side turns soft and powdery. Woods and musk in the base give a light woody, spicy footing, and the scent dries down without losing its fresh, floral character.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, work and leisure are chosen far more often than evening or a night out. Most voters read it as feminine. Acqua di Parma Iris Nobile Sublime and Yves Saint Laurent Capeline have a close profile.
