What does Miyako smell like?

The top is peach, apricot and yuzu, a fruity and sweet start. In the heart, leather, golden osmanthus and green jasmine tea come forward, so the floral and leathery sides run together. Katsura leaf, cedar and sandalwood anchor the base in woody, earthy ground, softened by patchouli and musk.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn, followed by spring and winter, and evening and leisure wear dominate. Votes for feminine and masculine sit close together, so the scent moves comfortably in either direction. Xerjoff Zanzibar / Najaf and Sonoma Scent Studio Tabac Aurea have a close profile.
