What does Shomal smell like?

The top notes, hyacinth and mandarin orange, give a fresh, green, citrusy start. In the heart, jasmine, iris and patchouli bring out the floral and powdery side while adding a woody depth. The base of vanilla, musk and amber sweetens the scent and leaves it creamy and warm.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so this rests on a limited sample. Its fresh but soft character reads comfortably on both men and women. Xerjoff Accento and Sospiro Accento Viola have a close profile.
