What does Niral smell like?

Niral lasts well and projects moderately. Most voters pick spring and autumn, with winter close behind. It leans towards evenings, leisure time and nights out. Voters mostly read it as feminine, though a fair number call it classic.

The floral accord leads: jasmine absolute, magnolia and Turkish rose sit against the spice of cardamom and pink pepper. Wine lees and tea add a fruity, sweet edge. Sandalwood, cedar and cabreuva give a woody base, while leather and iris pull it towards powdery, leathery ground. Laborynthia Sandalwood and Grès Madame Grès have a close profile.
