GourmandWhat does Makai smell like?
Voters find both its longevity and its sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so this is more a first impression than a firm verdict. It sits comfortably on men and women alike.
Woods, sea breeze, musk, mango peel and tropical fruits read together as one whole. A fresh, citrusy and floral face sits over a sweet, gourmand, creamy side, softened by woody and powdery touches, with a faint animal trace in the background.
