What does Memory Lane smell like?

The top is magnolia, meringue and myrrh: a soft floral freshness with a sugary touch on top. In the heart, cypriol, parsley and clove lead, bringing green, spicy and earthy shades. The base of green vanilla and white oud dries down woody and resinous, with a sweetness that stays in place.

Voters find the longevity strong and the sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so this is only a rough guide. It suits those who like a scent that is neither distinctly masculine nor feminine, composed yet soft. L'Artisan Parfumeur Méchant Loup and Nikos Sculpture Voyage en Orient have a close profile.
