What does Ysatis (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Most voters pick Ysatis for autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, while summer is rarely chosen. It is said to suit evenings and nights out best. Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong. More than half of voters call it feminine, and a good share find it classic.

Citrus, bergamot, mandarin orange and galbanum lead the opening, with aldehydes and coconut adding a slight edge. In the heart, tuberose, jasmine, Egyptian rose and ylang-ylang turn floral and powdery, while honey and narcissus add sweetness. The base of amber, sandalwood, patchouli, oakmoss and civet builds a spicy, woody, animalic chypre foundation. Ysatis and Emanuel Ungaro Diva share a close profile.
