What does Hikaye smell like?

As a whole, the scent builds on the creamy floral quality of tuberose and white blossoms. Japanese black tea adds a green, fresh note, while amber and woody notes bring a sweet, resinous, oriental depth. Fruity and gourmand shades stay in the background.

Voters rate both longevity and sillage as good. Most who rated longevity score it high, though the number of votes is small, so this is only a rough guide. Its balanced profile sits comfortably on both men and women.
