What does Meringue smell like?

The opening is a bright, fruity burst of mandarin orange, pineapple and bergamot. In the heart, sandalwood, suede and pink pepper add a spicy, slightly leathery woodiness. The base of birch, white musk, ambergris and vanilla rests the scent on a creamy, sweet footing.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and spring, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear and evenings. Sweet without turning heavy, it reads feminine. Valentino Valentino Uomo Intense (2016) and Guerlain L'Homme Idéal (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
