PowderyWhat does Moaï smell like?
It opens with lavender and bergamot for a fresh start. The heart holds coriander, musk and patchouli, where the spicy and floral tones come forward. The base of vanilla, sandalwood and tonka bean settles into a sweet, woody, powdery ground, with a synthetic edge running through the scent.
Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though this rests on only a few votes. It is positioned as a men's perfume. Bottega Veneta Essence Aromatique and Sabon P.L.V.28 have a close profile.
