What does Slowdive smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and see it for evenings, nights out and leisure time. Some find it feminine and others masculine, so it sits between the two.

It opens with orange blossom and neroli. The heart brings tuberose, honey, beeswax, dried fruits and tobacco flower, and the floral side turns sweet, creamy and gourmand. Resins in the base leave a spicy, oriental trail. Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Absolu and Tauer Perfumes Vanilla Absolue have a close profile.
