What does Kimonanthe smell like?

The notes read as one whole: osmanthus brings a soft, floral and fruity note, while star anise adds spicy warmth. Sandalwood and incense give it a woody, resinous and smoky depth, with a faint leathery trace behind them.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with summer well behind. It is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out, and for leisure time. Votes split almost evenly between feminine and masculine. Pierre Guillaume Noir Okoumé and Guerlain Santal Royal have a close profile.
