CreamyWhat does Melati Gaharu smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both rated strong, though the vote count is small. It suits any gender, and its dense, full character sits more comfortably in cooler weather and evenings.
Tuberose and red champaca open the scent, while a run of jasmines and vetiver form the heart, giving a fresh, green, creamy floral effect. At the base, Assam, Malayan, Cambodian and Chinese oud leave a sweet, oriental woodiness.
