What does Datura The Moon Flower smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so expect something that stays fairly close to the skin yet lasts through the day. It reads as unisex rather than leaning masculine or feminine. The ratings come from a small number of votes, so treat them as a rough guide.

Ylang-ylang and Bulgarian rose otto form the floral side, while sandalwood, cedarwood and oud supply the woody ground. Ginger and spices add warmth, and benzoin and frankincense bring a resinous, slightly smoky air. Bergamot, orris butter and brown ambergris soften the whole into something creamy.
