What does Madurai smell like?
Indian turmeric, lemon and Italian bergamot come first with a spicy brightness, while peach absolute adds a fruity sweetness. In the heart, jasmine and tuberose lead, with tagetes giving them a slightly sharper edge. The base of sandalwood and suede leaves a soft, creamy finish.
Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, with few choosing winter. It leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office, and most voters read it as feminine, though it works as a unisex scent. Memo Paris Tamarindo and Goldfield & Banks Ingenious Ginger have a close profile.
