What does Malachite smell like?

It reads fresh, aquatic and green, with green mango and pear on the fruity side, and water hyacinth, peony and carnation on the floral side. Pepper adds a light touch of spice, while sandalwood, musk and vanilla round it out with a woody, powdery, creamy softness.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, office and leisure are the most named occasions. In the character votes, feminine leads. Bepolar H21 and Gucci Mémoire d'une Odeur have a close profile.
