Jalaine Fragrances Silk is a unisex scent that pairs marine notes with vanilla and ambergris, moving from a fresh, aquatic start to a sweet, powdery base.

What does Silk smell like?

It is a strong wearer: longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong, though the number of votes is small, so take those ratings as indicative only. It reads comfortably on both men and women.

Marine notes give the opening a fresh, aquatic feel. Vanilla in the heart sweetens it and adds a creamy, gourmand softness. Ambergris settles into a woody, powdery warmth at the base, while floral and oriental touches stay in the background. Robberto Antonio Aqua Homme and Burberry Amber Heath have a close profile.
