What does MaxMara smell like?

It opens with citrus notes and ginger, fresh with a light spiciness. The heart of magnolia, orchid and lily forms a floral core, and sugar cane in the base sweetens the whole. Fruity and woody touches stay in the background.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. Most pick spring and fall, and it leans towards daily wear and the office; just over half of voters find it feminine. Widian Ginger and Acqua di Portofino Donna have a close profile.
