What does Manoumalia smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, though the votes behind these are few, so treat them as a rough guide. Most voters pick fall and spring, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. More than half of the voters read it as feminine, though some find it masculine.

The notes are not split into top, heart and base, so it reads as a single piece: a floral, sweet body with a woody, spicy, powdery oriental tone on top. Tembusu and vetiver strengthen the woody side, and a faint animal trace stays in the background. L'Artisan Parfumeur Vanilia and Michael Kors Sexy Amber have a close profile.
