What does Abel smell like?

The top holds vanilla, orange and apple, so the first impression is sweet and fruity. In the heart, tagetes and jasmine carry the floral side. The base of vetiver, musk, oud and sweet notes softens everything and settles it onto a creamy footing.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the sample is small, so that reading is tentative. It leans neither masculine nor feminine and wears as a true unisex. Câline Madame Chérie and Avon Vanilla Soft Musk (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
