What does Vintage Affair smell like?

Grapefruit, lime and bergamot give a bright start, with jasmine already bringing a floral note. The heart is crowded with flowers, with rose, narcissus, magnolia, tuberose and gardenia leading. In the base, vetiver, sandalwood, patchouli and oakmoss set a woody, earthy, smoky floor.

Longevity and sillage are rated strong, though only a few people have voted. It suits anyone, man or woman, who wants a mature, classic chypre structure. The perfumer is Marius Pană.
