What does Hanamachi / 花街 (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Lemon and bergamot bring brightness at first, softened by ylang-ylang. In the heart, iris, rose, violet, jasmine and heliotrope form a powdery floral bouquet, while aquatic and fruity accents keep it light. The base of oud, peach, cherry leaf, musk and vanilla leaves an earthy, gently sweet finish.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, though the number of votes is small, so this is a tentative reading. Fresh yet powdery, it suits men and women alike. Korres Heliotrope | Ylang-Ylang | Citron and Mel Merio True Diamond have a close profile.
