What does Charisma smell like?

Damask rose carries the floral side, while cinnamon and styrax add a sweet, spicy warmth. Frankincense and cistus give it a resinous, woody depth. The gourmand and powdery accords soften the whole, leaving a smooth sweetness in the background.

Its longevity is rated good, while its sillage stays moderate, so the scent sits close to the skin rather than filling a room. The oriental, spicy build suits cooler weather and evening hours best. Lancôme La Vie est Belle L'Extrait and Fragonard Grain de Soleil have a close profile.
