What does Borobudur smell like?

It opens with Balinese orange, mandarin orange and black pepper, a fresh citrus start with a light spicy edge. In the heart, jasmine, iris and sandalwood add a soft floral and woody feel, and white musk and vanilla sweeten the base, drying down powdery.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and business settings lead the occasions. Most voters read it as feminine, though a fair share call it masculine. Chanel Coco Noir and Valentino Very Valentino have a close profile.
