What does Bali Dream smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate: it neither dominates nor disappears. Most voters place it in daytime and leisure wear, with some choosing it for the office, while evenings and nights out come well behind.

It opens with ginger, magnolia and moon orchid. The heart is led by Indonesian jasmine, gardenia, ylang-ylang and lily of the valley, with apple adding a fruity brightness, and pepper and cassia a gentle spice. Vanilla and woods in the base sweeten it and soften the finish.
