CreamyWhat does Namaqualand smell like?
It opens on bergamot, mandarin orange and orange blossom; in the heart, ylang-ylang, jasmine sambac and tuberose absolute add a rounded floral weight. The base of Bourbon vanilla, sandalwood, tonka bean and musk settles it into a creamy, powdery, sweet finish.
Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, with evening, nights out and leisure wear leading. Though unisex, most voters read it as feminine. Ex Nihilo Honoré Delights and Xerjoff Ibitira have a close profile.
