What does Champaca smell like?

Its sillage is rated good, though only a few voters have weighed in, so that reading is tentative. Nothing is recorded about seasons or occasions; being unisex, it suits both women and men.

The top opens with bergamot, aldehydes and grapefruit for a citrus start. In the heart, cyclamen, plum, champaca, blackcurrant and jasmine build a floral, fruity sweetness. Labdanum and cedar set it on a warm base with a faintly animal edge. A creamy, powdery side runs through it. Chanel Allure Eau Fraîchissante pour l'Été and Dior Joy (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
