What does Dry Waters - Megaflower smell like?

The flowers lead: jasmine, ylang-ylang and orange blossom absolute form the core. Bergamot and mandarin orange add some freshness, while plum brings a soft fruitiness. Madagascan cinnamon adds a spicy touch, and vanilla, tonka bean and musk pull the scent towards sweet, creamy and powdery. Sandalwood, patchouli and vetiver give it a woody base.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, and it is chosen more often for evenings and nights out. Half of the voters read it as feminine, though it can be worn as a unisex scent. Guerlain Mayotte and Parfums de Marly Sedbury have a close profile.
