PowderyWhat does Terra Incognita smell like?
The top is freesia, bergamot, papyrus and peach, so the start is both floral and fruity. In the heart, vetiver, almond, jasmine and peony sweeten the scent and tip it towards the gourmand. The base of musk, rooibos, patchouli and amber takes over, and powdery, earthy and spicy accords build a woody, oriental ground.
Voters find the longevity good and the sillage moderate. Most pick fall and winter, with evening and night-out wear leading. Feminine is the character it gets most votes for. Chopard Cašmir (Eau de Parfum) and Montana Parfum de Femme have a close profile.
