What does Saïga smell like?

Most voters pick spring and autumn, with daily and leisure wear leading and office use next. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Though it is unisex, most voters find it feminine.

It opens with a fresh, fruity blackcurrant bud absolute. The heart is the floral side of Rosa centifolia absolute, and cedarwood forms a woody base. Sweet, powdery and creamy accords soften the whole.
