What does Canyon Dreams smell like?

Mandarin orange and bergamot bring a bright citrus start, which the spices warm almost at once. Jasmine and rose give the heart a soft floral touch. In the base, patchouli, vanilla and woods take over, leaving a sweet, powdery, resinous scent with a slightly smoky edge.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and lean towards evening and night-out wear. Most call it feminine, though a sizeable group reads it as masculine. Dior Midnight Poison and Guerlain Shalimar have a close profile.
