What does Maai smell like?

Both its longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out rather than daytime or the office. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, so it doesn't pull firmly either way.

Oakmoss, jasmine, tuberose and rose build a floral backbone. Sandalwood and rosewood set it on a woody base, while civet, castoreum and hyraceum add an animalic warmth. Siam benzoin brings a resinous sweetness, and the accords also show a chypre and earthy side. Nishane Shinanay and Chanel Antaeus (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
