ResinousWhat does Stella Cadente smell like?
The top is led by violet absolute, spearmint, bergamot and galbanum, so it starts green, fresh and slightly fruity. In the heart, Turkish rose, cinnamon and clove build a spicy floral core. The base of Peru balsam, vanilla and labdanum sweetens it into a resinous, woody warmth.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, and it suits evenings, leisure and the office. More voters read it as feminine, though a fair number find it masculine. Tom Ford Rive d'Ambre and Nishane Papilefiko have a close profile.
