What does Ninfea smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin rather than filling a room. Voters place it mostly in daily and leisure wear, with business use close behind, and fewer pick it for evenings or nights out.

It opens with orange and guinea pepper adding a little spice to the aquatic, green freshness of lotus and gardenia leaf. In the heart, water lily, jasmine, orchid and lavender form a soft floral core. The base of sandalwood and ambergris, joined by musk and vanilla, settles into a creamy, lightly sweet woodiness.
