What does Huacaya smell like?

Voters find both its longevity and its sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It reads as unisex, leaning neither masculine nor feminine.

It opens with saffron, Ceylonese cinnamon and a dew drop, with the spice coming first. In the heart, South American heliotrope, Scottish raspberry and Grasse violet turn it sweeter, floral and fruity. The base of powdery notes, Cambodian oud and musk dries down woody and oriental. Alexandre.J Rose Oud and La Prairie Life Threads Ruby have a close profile.
