What does Adonis Awakens smell like?

The top notes are grapefruit, bergamot and pink pepper, giving a bright, slightly sharp start. In the heart, vanilla, raspberry and jasmine sambac lead, rounded by Bulgarian rose and chestnut. It dries down to a woody base of cashmere wood, Mysore sandalwood and rose absolute.

Voters find both longevity and sillage good. Most pick spring and fall, and it leans towards evenings, nights out and leisure. Its character splits between masculine and feminine, so it reads as truly unisex. The Dua Brand The Rise of Adonis and Marni Marni Rose have a close profile.
