PowderyWhat does Close smell like?
It opens with aquatic notes, citrus fruits, salt and almond blossom. In the heart, jasmine, stephanotis, daphne and freesia add a soft floral layer. It dries down to vanilla, sandalwood, amber and musk, which sweeten it and tie it to a powdery woodiness.
Longevity and sillage are weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily, leisure and business wear lead the occasions. It reads feminine. Pure DKNY Vanilla and Bond No. 9 Hamptons have a close profile.
