What does Les Jardins de Shérazade smell like?

It opens fresh and citrusy with orange blossom and lime. At the heart, rose, jasmine and saffron build a floral, spicy texture. The base of oud, vanilla, tonka bean and sandalwood turns it sweet, woody and powdery in an oriental way, with a faint animal note in the background.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, with winter the least chosen. It leans towards leisure, evening and night-out wear, and also gets votes for daytime and the office. Most voters find it feminine. Gucci Accenti and Chanel Coco Noir have a close profile.
