WoodyWhat does Esencia de Duende smell like?
The top is coriander, bergamot, mandarin orange and grapefruit, so citrus and a touch of spice come first. The heart brings hyacinth, lily of the valley, jasmine and rose in a floral middle, with lotus keeping the aquatic feel going. The base of mahogany, cedarwood and sandalwood settles it on a woody, lightly powdery footing.
Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily, leisure and business wear lead the occasions. It is classed as a women's fragrance. Heidi Klum Shine Blue and Mistral Fragrances Mistral Female have a close profile.
