What does Salvador da Bahia smell like?

It opens with cashew nut and cardamom, creamy and lightly spiced. In the heart, cocoa shell and orris root soften the sweetness and give it a powdery depth. Patchouli closes it out on an earthy, woody base.

Longevity and sillage are rated good, though only a small number of voters have weighed in. Most voters pick it for nights out and evenings, with some suggesting leisure and business wear. It reads warm and rounded on anyone, with no clear masculine or feminine lean. Lorenzo Pazzaglia Van Py Rhum and D.S. & Durga Pistachio have a close profile.
