What does Mabda smell like?

Mabda's longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind and summer rarely chosen. It gets the most votes for nights out and evenings, and it also works for leisure time. Slightly more voters call it feminine, though many find it masculine.

The top pairs fruity raspberry and bergamot with pink pepper and smoky notes. In the heart, rose absolute, ylang-ylang and geranium build a floral base, while black pepper and amber add spicy warmth. The base carries vanilla, tonka bean and benzoin sweetness, with frankincense and cedarwood adding a resinous, woody depth. Floriental and Nobile 1942 Malvs have a close profile.
