What does Hayal smell like?

Voters rate both its longevity and its sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so that picture is tentative. There is not enough information to tie it to a season or occasion; it can be worn by men and women alike.

The notes are not split into top, heart and base, so it reads as a single piece. Jasmine sambac, white blossoms and lily of the valley form the floral side, while vanilla, tonka bean and amber pull it towards a creamy, resinous, oriental sweetness. Orange adds a little brightness to the dense blend. Câline Vanille No. 25 and Nihan Nihan (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
