What does Rima XI smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. It also gets worn in spring, while summer is the weakest fit. Most voters read it as feminine, though a fair share call it masculine, so it sits somewhere between the two.

It opens with Guatemala cardamom, Madagascan pepper, saffron and Nana mint, spicy and a little cool. In the heart, coriander, Ceylonese cinnamon and Indonesian nutmeg carry the spice on while Indian jasmine sambac adds a soft floral touch. The base of Virginia cedar, Australian sandalwood, Siam benzoin and Bourbon vanilla absolute settles into a sweet, powdery, creamy woodiness.
