What does Velvety Butternut smell like?

Ginger gives the opening a lively, spiced edge. Toward the heart, butternut pumpkin comes forward and softens the whole. The base is patchouli and tonka bean, which settle the sweetness onto a creamy footing. Green and synthetic tones also run through the accords.

In strength it is modest: longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin. It suits both men and women.
