What does Madagascar smell like?

The top is spicy with clove, cardamom and pink pepper, while citrus zest and ginger keep it lively. In the heart, osmanthus, jasmine sambac and violet leaf add a soft floral and green touch. The base rests on Papua oud, sandalwood, resins and vanilla, giving a woody, creamy and resinous ground, with seawater and ozone keeping some freshness in play.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of votes is still small, so these are early impressions. It reads as unisex. Roja Parfums Oceania and Swiss Arabian Soul of Bali share a close profile.
