What does Pichola smell like?

Pichola's longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it makes itself felt without filling the room. Most voters pick spring and summer, though autumn has its wearers too. It leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office, and half of those who rated its character call it feminine.

The opening pairs clementine, bergamot and neroli with juniper, cardamom and cinnamon, while magnolia and saffron add a floral, spicy edge. The heart is led by ylang-ylang, jasmine sambac, tuberose, rose and orange blossom. In the base, sandalwood, vetiver, benzoin and driftwood close it on a woody, creamy sweetness. Rahele and Serenity Blend have a close profile.
