ResinousWhat does Vaganova smell like?
It opens with pink grapefruit, rosewood and carnation, fresh yet already spiced. At the heart, jasmine, tuberose and freesia build the floral body, while honey and labdanum sweeten it and add a resinous depth. In the base, tobacco, beeswax and woods come forward, and the scent settles into a woody, oriental warmth.
Serge Lutens Tubéreuse criminelle and Vero Profumo Rozy (Voile d'Extrait) have a close profile to Vaganova.
