What does Celima (Extrait de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with coriander, bitter orange and rum, which give a green, citrusy and slightly sweet start. In the heart, ylang-ylang, carnation and Siam benzoin add a floral, resinous warmth. The base of sandalwood, vanilla and patchouli settles into a creamy, powdery, earthy oriental character.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick it for evenings and nights out, with leisure wear also common. It reads as a women's fragrance, and its profile is close to Nicolaï Maharadjah and Enrico Gi Oud Nobile.
