What does Clean Reserve Avant Garden - Nude Santal & Heliotrope smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays on the skin without filling the room. The vote count is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. Being unisex, it can be worn by anyone, whatever the gender.

The top notes are lemon and cinnamon: a bright citrus first, then a light touch of spice. In the heart, heliotrope and orange blossom push the scent in a floral, sweet direction. The base of sandalwood, Virginia cedar, Clearwood™ and Bourbon vanilla builds a woody, creamy foundation. Perfumer H Flower No.1 and Chloé Love Story Eau Sensuelle have a close profile.
