What does Sylvan Song smell like?

Bergamot gives a bright opening, and the heart turns floral with jasmine, rose and ylang-ylang. In the base, musk, gaiac wood and vetiver ground the scent in dry wood, while benzoin and tonka bean add sweetness and a warm, resinous softness. Fruity and spicy touches stay in the background.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays on the skin for a long time without projecting far. It is positioned as a feminine perfume. The vote count is small, so these ratings are best read with caution. Ramón Monegal Impossible Iris and Hayari Only for Him have a close profile.
