What does Flor y Canto smell like?

It opens with Mexican acacia, leaves and tagetes, a green and fresh start. The heart brings tuberose absolute, frangipani, red frangipani and southern magnolia into a full floral body, with a fruity touch and a powdery softness. Mexican copal resin, benzoin and Mexican vanilla sweeten the base.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer, and it suits leisure and daily wear best. Though classed as unisex, most voters read it as feminine. Violet Pourpre d'Automne and Abahna Frangipani & Orange Blossom have a close profile.
