What does Athena smell like?

It opens with thyme, cypress, saffron and green notes, a spicy freshness that the fruits soften. In the heart, jasmine, rose and orris root build a floral, powdery surface. The base sweetens with vanilla, amber and musk, while vetiver and leather add a dry weight beneath that sweetness.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Voters lean slightly towards fall and spring, with winter and summer close behind, and it suits daytime and evening wear about equally. Most voters find it feminine, and some call it modern. Rasasi Qasamat Bareeq and Anfas Ishq Special have a close profile.
