What does Waka - Madagascar smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate, and most voters pick spring, fall and summer. It leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. Voters are split on whether it reads masculine or feminine, so it sits comfortably on either side.

The top opens with Thai ginger, bergamot and mandarin petitgrain, a bright start. Palmarosa, geranium, jasmine and cinnamon in the heart add a floral, spicy turn. In the base, vanilla, Siam benzoin, patchouli and sandalwood settle the scent onto a warm, woody, resinous ground.
