PowderyWhat does Extraordinary smell like?
Most voters pick fall and winter, and lean towards evening and night out. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters read it as feminine.
It opens with mandarin orange, grapefruit, raspberry and pepper, fruity and lightly spicy. In the heart, dark chocolate comes forward, with magnolia, orchid, lotus and ginger carrying the floral and spicy side. The base of vanilla, patchouli, sandalwood and musk closes it woody, powdery and oriental. Slava Zaïtsev Nikita and Bois 1920 La Vaniglia have a close profile.
