What does Surabaya smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and spring, and it leans towards evenings, leisure and nights out. More voters call it feminine, though masculine and classic both get a fair share.

Oakmoss, amber and patchouli make a woody base. Ylang-ylang, jasmine and rose form the floral centre, while plum, peach and bergamot add fruity freshness, vanilla a soft sweetness and cumin a spicy edge. The result is a green, classic chypre with an oriental touch. Laura Biagiotti Venezia and Rochas Femme have a close profile.
