What does Mithqal smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters are split between spring, autumn and summer, with winter the least chosen. Night out, evening and daily wear lead the occasions. In character it divides almost evenly between feminine and masculine.

Aldehydes and blueberry open the scent fresh and fruity. In the heart, saffron adds spice and rose a floral sweetness. As it dries, sandalwood and frankincense build a creamy, woody base, with a slightly synthetic brightness running throughout.
