What does So Blue smell like?

It opens with Calabrian mandarin orange, Calabrian lemon and bergamot, with pepper and fruits adding a lively edge. In the heart, Bulgarian rose and violet bring a soft floral note, while marine notes and patchouli carry the aquatic side. The base turns sweeter with vanilla and amber, resting on musk, oakmoss and Mysore sandalwood.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office come up most often. Feminine leads the character votes, though a fair number of voters also call it masculine. Lattafa Liam Blue Shine and Birkholz Portraits of Portofino have a close profile.
