What does Maderas de Oriente smell like?

It opens with coriander, bergamot and Spanish orange blossom. In the heart, Bulgarian damask rose, iris and jasmine form a floral frame, while pink pepper and carnation add spice. In the base, musk, tonka bean, ylang-ylang and vanilla sweeten it and turn it creamy, powdery and woody.

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with leisure, daily wear and evening leading the occasions. Most voters find it feminine, and a good share call it classic. It shares a close profile with Guerlain Métalys / Metallica and Yas Perfumes Laitek Mai.
