What does Nel smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, with few choosing winter. Leisure time and nights out lead the occasions, and most voters call it feminine and modern.
The top opens fruity and bright with rhubarb, apple, lychee and pot marigold. The heart turns floral with magnolia, rose and Grasse jasmine, while blackberry adds a juicy touch. In the base, vanilla, ambergris, oakmoss and cedarwood sweeten it into a soft, creamy finish. Parfums de Marly Meliora and Delina (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
