What does Oat & Cornflower smell like?

Cornflower carries a fresh, floral feel in the top. In the heart, oat and hazelnut lead, pulling the scent towards a creamy, gourmand tone. Vetiver lays a woody base underneath, while powdery and spicy touches stay in the background.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it is a calm scent that stays fairly close. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it is chosen mostly for leisure, daily wear and the office. Voters read it as more feminine than masculine. Profumum Roma Alba and Phlur Hanami (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
