What does Perfectly Marvelous smell like?

The floral accord leads, with a green edge beside it. Cashmeran, red sandalwood and resins build a woody, oriental base, while spices and pimento sweeten it and add a little bite.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick spring, followed by winter and fall, and it suits evenings and nights out as well as daily wear. Half of the voters call it feminine. Guerlain Shalimar Ode à la Vanille and Miro Secrets have a close profile.
