What does Magical Moon (Parfum) smell like?

It opens with a bright mix of pineapple, lychee, starfruit and guava, with pink pepper adding a light touch of spice. In the heart, osmanthus, orange blossom and rose bring the floral side forward. The base of vanilla, coconut milk, sandalwood and patchouli turns sweeter and dries down with a warm, resinous, faintly smoky feel.

Longevity and sillage are rated as moderate, though the number of votes is small, so those ratings are tentative. Its sweet, gourmand build suits those who like a feminine scent. Bond No. 9 Andy Warhol and Queen Latifah Queen have a close profile.
