What does Madonna of the Almonds smell like?

The top is almond blossom, lemon and bergamot, so it starts bright and clean. Bitter almond and jasmine move into the heart, softening the citrus and sweetening it. In the base, frankincense, musk, vanilla and sandalwood leave a warm, gourmand, powdery finish.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters read it as feminine and pick spring and fall, with leisure and daily wear leading, though business and evening also get votes. Chloé SeeByChloé and Kenzo Couleur Kenzo Jaune-Yellow have a close profile.
