What does Io smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are rated as good, though the number of ratings is small, so those figures are only a rough guide. It reads as a feminine perfume.
The notes have no top, heart and base split, so the scent reads as one piece. The floral side sits on a green, woody footing, deepened by sandalwood and patchouli. Plum, mandarin orange, blackcurrant and passion fruit add a fruity brightness, while vanilla brings a soft sweetness. A spicy touch rounds out the chypre character.
