CreamyWhat does Fire Island smell like?
Cardamom opens with a spicy freshness. In the heart, neroli and white musk lead, and in the base tuberose and patchouli settle the scent onto a creamy, powdery footing. The overall impression is clean, floral and slightly synthetic.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters suggest summer and spring, with leisure and daily wear ahead and office use not far behind. Most voters read it as feminine, though a fair number call it masculine. It has been discontinued. Montale Holy Neroli and Jimmy Choo Radiant Tuberose have a close profile.
