What does Bianca Forte smell like?

The top notes are banana leaf, coconut and ginger, so the opening reads green and fresh, softened by the coconut. At the heart, ylang-ylang, tuberose and gardenia build a floral, powdery body. The base of tolu balm, vanilla and sandalwood sweetens it and settles it on a creamy footing.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as strong, though few have voted so far. It is presented as unisex. Guerlain Joyeuse Tubéreuse and Guerlain Cruel Gardénia have a close profile.
