What does Maharadjah smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, though spring is not far behind. It is most often chosen for evenings and nights out, and it also gets worn for leisure. It is classed as feminine, yet a good share of voters read it as masculine.

Mint and coriander give the opening an aromatic freshness. In the heart, lavender, cinnamon and carnation add a spicy warmth. As it dries, patchouli, vanilla and sandalwood come forward, settling into a powdery, earthy, oriental sweetness. Guerlain Héritage and Lubin Black Jade have a close profile.
