What does Maligne Blue smell like?

It opens with blueberry, violet and white rose, while Hawaiian sandalwood lays a creamy base under them. In the heart, boronia, elderflower and blue lotus carry the floral side, and Palo Santo adds a woody depth. The base of santalol, white ambergris, Borneo oud and orris absolute settles into a powdery, earthy, soft woodiness.

Longevity and sillage are rated strong, though the small number of votes means this is only a rough guide. It reads as neither distinctly masculine nor feminine. Folkwinds Unknown and Folkwinds Jasper 29: Maligne Lake Blue have a close profile.
