What does Le Gemme - Calaluna smell like?

The scent reads as a whole rather than in stages. Heliotrope and white iris set a floral, powdery and creamy base, and sandalwood softens it with woody warmth. The fresh accord keeps it from turning heavy, while the sweetness and a touch of spice stay in the background.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters find it feminine, and it leans towards spring and fall, with office, leisure and daily wear the most voted occasions. Accord Parfait Boisé - Heliotrope & Santal and Jo Malone Mimosa & Cardamom (Cologne) have a close profile.
