AnimalWhat does DNA Women (1993) (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
It opens fresh and herbal with geranium, bergamot and mint, while ylang-ylang and rosemary keep the green note going. The heart is floral, built on tuberose, jasmine and osmanthus, with clove adding a spicy warmth. In the base, vanilla, amber and sandalwood sweeten it, and oakmoss and vetiver leave a woody, slightly smoky, resinous ground.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Few people have rated it, so treat these as a tendency rather than a firm verdict. It is made as a women's fragrance, and its dense, oriental-leaning build suits those who like rich scents. Its profile is close to Bijan DNA Women (2004) and Versace Gianni Versace.
