What does Ophelia smell like?

The notes read as a single whole: jasmine, rose, hyacinth, neroli and orange blossom form the floral body, while blackcurrant adds a sweet, fruity touch. Opoponax, frankincense and musk give those flowers a spicy, faintly smoky, powdery depth.

Its longevity and sillage are rated good, though few people have voted, so that picture is tentative. With its pronounced floral character and powdery sweetness, it reads as a feminine scent. The Body Shop White Musk Smoky Rose and Avon Night Musk have a close profile.
