What does Candour smell like?

Sandalwood, iris and vanilla build a creamy base, while olive leaf, galbanum and violet leaf add a fresh, green tone. Ginger and cardamom milk bring light spice and a gourmand sweetness, with almond and sage balancing it in the background.

Voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate. Most pick spring and summer, and leisure and daily wear lead the occasions. It reads slightly more feminine than masculine, though masculine votes are not far behind. Odur Calma and Bey Excursion have a close profile.
