What does Aura smell like?

It opens with pineapple, grapefruit and Calabrian bergamot for a bright fruity lift. In the heart, plum, raspberry and passion fruit meet jasmine and lily of the valley, with vanilla softening the mix. The base of caramel, musk and ambergris leaves a sweet, creamy trail.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, with leisure and night out the leading occasions. Many read it as feminine, though it is classed as unisex. Tiziana Terenzi Kirkè and Zimaya Fatima have a close profile.
