What does 5:40 PM in Madagascar smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it leaves a soft trail close to the skin. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, and daily wear, office and leisure lead the occasions. In the character votes feminine dominates, with modern second.

Lotus opens the scent fresh and green. In the heart, freesia carries the floral side while cedar adds a woody backbone. Vanilla sweetens the base, and the gourmand and powdery accents, along with a light spicy touch, keep that sweetness in balance. Hermès Vanille Galante and Kayali Musk | 12 have a close profile.
