CreamyWhat does African Queen smell like?
It opens with lemon, chocolate and almond, where the freshness quickly softens into something sweet and creamy. Jasmine and Bulgarian rose add a floral layer in the heart, with a spicy touch staying in the background. Patchouli and tonka bean deepen the sweetness as it dries down.
Longevity and projection are rated good, though the number of votes is small. Voters suggest it for leisure, evenings and nights out, and also for the office. It suits men and women alike. One Avenue Jasmine and Creed Sublime Vanille have a close profile.
