What does Manila Grace smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Voters lean towards leisure and evening wear, with some also choosing daytime and the office.

It opens bright with lemon, blackcurrant and green notes, while cardamom and geranium add a little spice. In the heart, coconut, gingerbread and white peach bring a gourmand sweetness, softened by lily of the valley. The base of cedarwood, amberwood and vanilla dries down creamy and oriental.
