What does Quintessence smell like?

It opens with orange blossom, mandarin orange and elemi resin, light and bright. In the heart, jasmine, iris and plum add a soft, powdery floral layer. The base carries praliné, vanilla and white musk for sweetness, while patchouli adds a spicy, oriental depth.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Voters pick it most often for leisure, followed by a night out, daily wear, business and evening. Being unisex, it suits men and women alike. Its profile is close to Pascal Morabito Perle Royale and Al Haramain Dazzle Intense.
