What does Ave María smell like?

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it sits most comfortably in daily wear and leisure time. Over half of voters read it as feminine, though it can be worn as a unisex scent.

It opens with cashmere, gardenia and Indonesian jasmine, which set a soft floral tone. In the heart, the rain accord, pear and African neroli cool it down and add a fruity sweetness. The base of merlot, nappa leather and oak wood gives that lightness a little depth. Its profile is close to twentysecondofmay Sunbeds & Daydreams and Bō La Mar (Parfum).
