What does White Russian smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick autumn and spring, with winter and summer a little behind. Daytime, leisure and office wear fit it best, while few choose it for evenings or nights out. Most voters read it as feminine.

Red berries and apple blossom open it fresh and lightly sweet. In the heart, hibiscus, white rose and jasmine build a floral body. In the base, cashmere wood, musk and vanilla move it towards a powdery, gourmand sweetness with a soft woody edge. Naf Naf Fashion Instinct and Jette Joop By Night Jette have a close profile.
