What does La Cautiva (Perfume) smell like?

Passion flower, iris and rose shape the scent, while night-blooming jasmine and guava add a fruity brightness to the floral core. Blackcurrant sharpens that freshness, and patchouli, musk and vanilla give it a powdery, creamy, slightly gourmand warmth.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters point to autumn and spring, though winter and summer follow not far behind. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, and although most voters read it as feminine, it is presented as unisex. Michalsky Sunshine and One Avenue Peony have a close profile.
