What does Crystal Pistil smell like?

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the vote count is small, so this is a tentative picture. Being unisex, it doesn't lean toward any one gender.

The top notes of dew drop, pink pepper and orange blossom water open airy. The heart holds jasmine water, floral notes and Paradisone®, and the base of civettone, white musk and ambrette seed softens it. The fresh, citrusy, floral character is balanced by woody, earthy and synthetic touches. Its profile is close to The Dua Brand Crystalline Effect and Carolina Herrera Cedar Chic.
