What does Granada smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick spring and fall, though summer has its share. It leans towards leisure time and evenings out, and is also worn to the office. More than half of voters read it as feminine.

The top is fresh and fruity, with lily of the valley, pomegranate and bergamot. In the heart, rose, Tunisian orange blossom absolute and heliotrope add a floral, powdery softness. The base of musk, jasmine absolute, amber and vanilla turns it sweeter, while spicy and woody touches stay in the background. Jil Sander Jil and Laura Biagiotti Roma have a close profile.
