What does Solano smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters point to spring, with autumn and summer next and winter trailing. It leans towards leisure and daytime wear, with evening and office also getting votes. Most voters read it as feminine, though some find it masculine.

Davana comes first, then ylang-ylang gives the heart a floral, creamy warmth. In the base, patchouli and tonka bean absolute take over, and the scent turns sweeter, drying down gourmand and powdery with a faint spicy edge. Prada La Femme Intense and Maison Margiela Lipstick On have a close profile.
