What does Centenario smell like?
The top is ylang-ylang, bergamot and tiaré, where the floral and fruity sides come forward. In the heart, powdery notes, coconut and iris make it creamy and soft. The base holds musk, sandalwood and jasmine; the spicy and woody touches stay in the background while the sweetness carries on.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good, though the number of votes is small, so those ratings are tentative. It does not lean toward either gender and suits people who like powdery, sweet scents. Its profile is close to Escada Margaretha Ley and New Notes Latte Mimosa.
