ResinousWhat does Paris Mascate smell like?
It opens with bitter orange and coriander, bright and slightly sharp. Geranium, Moroccan rose and patchouli form a floral, earthy heart, and the base of vanilla, tonka bean and amber turns creamy, powdery and resinous.
Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring and summer well behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, though leisure wear is also common. Longevity and sillage are rated good, though few have voted. V Canto Kashimire and Rhizome Rhizome 05 have a close profile.
