What does Yin smell like?

Bergamot and juniper berry give it a fresh, lightly spiced start, while jasmine, chamomile and lavender build the floral and green side. Siam benzoin, vanilla, almond and musk pull it towards a creamy, resinous, slightly animalic warmth.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and spring, and it leans towards leisure and evening wear. Feminine votes come first, though a good share call it masculine. Guerlain Shalimar Philtre de Parfum and Nishane Ambra Calabria have a close profile.
