What does Central Park South smell like?

It starts fresh, green and lightly fruity, with blackcurrant bud, clementine, violet leaf and grapefruit blossom. At the heart, acacia, jasmine, tuberose and orris root carry the floral side into a soft, powdery texture. The base of cedarwood, benzoin, musk and sandalwood settles into a woody, slightly sweet finish.

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters suggest spring and summer, with evening, night out and leisure the leading occasions. It reads mostly feminine. Kate Moss Kate and Essential Garden Tulip Dreams have a close profile.
