What does Oshun smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and spring, and name evenings, leisure and nights out. Some read it as feminine, others as masculine, so it leans both ways.

It opens with lemon and pine for a fresh edge, while cinnamon and black pepper add spice. Jasmine, magnolia and rose bring the floral side, with clove alongside. The base of Peru balsam, tobacco, tonka bean and amber turns sweeter, resinous and slightly animal.
