What does VIII: Rococo - Magnolia smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters are split between spring, fall and summer, with winter the least chosen season. Daily and leisure wear lead, while business and evening also get votes. It reads feminine, with a classic side too.

It opens with bergamot, mandarin orange and blackcurrant, giving a bright fruity freshness. In the heart, rose and magnolia carry the floral line, while clove and cinnamon add spice. Sandalwood and oakmoss leave a woody, powdery base. Roja Parfums Beguiled and Profumum Roma Eccelso have a close profile.
