What does Cinnabar (2015) smell like?

The top notes of orange blossom, jasmine and tangerine give it a bright floral start. The heart holds lily, lily of the valley and clove, and the clove adds spice to the sweetness. In the base, patchouli, frankincense and sandalwood give it a woody, resinous, slightly smoky footing.

Both longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening and night out are the most chosen occasions. Feminine and classic lead the character votes. Its profile is close to Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle Portrait of a Lady and Yves Saint Laurent Belle d'Opium.
