What does Zemfira (Extrait de Parfum) smell like?

Most voters find its longevity strong and its sillage good. Votes lean towards spring and fall, with leisure and evening wear coming first. Opinion on gender is split, though the feminine side edges ahead.

Pink pepper and bergamot give the top a citrusy, spicy lift. In the heart, May rose and tea rose carry the floral side while Atlas cedar adds wood. Bengal sandalwood and Vietnamese oud close it with a creamy warmth. Bortnikoff Attar Zemfira and Ormonde Jayne Gatsby 22 have a close profile.
