What does Yasmina smell like?

It opens with saffron and cardamom for a spicy warmth, with rose softening it into something floral. At the heart, whisky and leather pull the scent towards smoke and hide, while iris and jasmine keep a floral thread running through that toughness. The base of tonka bean, vanilla and patchouli settles into a sweet, resinous, woody ground.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out. It sits between masculine and feminine, with votes split almost evenly. Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud Aswad and Thameen Regent Leather have a close profile.
