What does Central Park West smell like?

It opens with ylang-ylang, black pepper and narcissus, the pepper giving the flowers a spicy edge. The heart brings orris root, gardenia, jasmine and linden tree, and the scent drifts towards a fruity, sweet tone. The base of tree moss, musk, white oak and vetiver settles it on a woody footing.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick spring, with autumn and summer not far behind. It leans towards leisure, night-out and evening wear, and most voters read it as feminine. Hermetica Dry Waters - Megaflower and Guerlain Mayotte have a close profile.
