What does Néa smell like?

It opens with davana, date and pomegranate for a fruity sweetness, while black pepper adds a spicy edge. The heart brings damask rose, jasmine sambac and prune forward. In the base, benzoin, vanilla, caramel and tonka bean pull the scent towards a creamy, powdery, oriental sweetness.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall, spring and winter, and it leans towards evenings, nights out and leisure time. Most voters read it as feminine, though it is unisex. Jean Paul Gaultier La Belle Le Parfum and Lancôme La Nuit Trésor à la Folie have a close profile.
