What does Anima - Souffle d'Étoile smell like?

It opens with orange, frankincense, lavender and balsam fir in a cool, resinous start. In the heart, frangipani, tuberose and jasmine carry the floral side while cinnamon adds a spicy warmth. The base sweetens with vanilla, tonka bean and benzoin, and Canadian hemlock gives it a woody frame.

Voters find the longevity good and the sillage moderate. Most pick autumn, then spring, and it leans towards evening and leisure wear. Though made for women, the largest share of voters finds its character masculine. Pineward Chandlery and Serge Lutens Encens et lavande have a close profile.
