What does Chic Shaik No. 30 smell like?

It opens with bergamot, praliné and cardamom; the freshness is brief, and spice and a sugary note move ahead. In the heart, jasmine and rose form a floral base, while passion fruit adds a fruity sweetness. In the base, tonka bean and vanilla soften everything, with woody and resinous touches staying in the background.

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters recommend autumn and winter, though spring works too. It leans towards nights out, evenings and leisure time. About half of voters find it feminine. Unartiges Luder and Red Pearl have a close profile.
