What does Jawhara (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Exotic fruits and orange blossom absolute lead the top. In the heart, jasmine sambac absolute, patchouli absolute and white woods give the floral core a woody depth. The base of vanilla absolute and ambroxan sweetens the scent and dries down with a creamy warmth.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick autumn, winter and spring, with summer well behind. It leans towards night-out and evening wear, and also works for leisure time. Maïssa Djanet Sunset and Maïssa Magic Moment have a close profile.
