What does Nanshe smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and spring, though winter and summer are not ruled out. Leisure, night out and evening lead the occasions, and it also gets worn for business. Most voters read it as feminine, yet it is presented as unisex.

The top opens bright and lightly spicy with yuzu, bergamot, cardamom and carrot seed. In the heart, ylang-ylang, jasmine sambac absolute and rose absolute build a floral body, while watery fruits add a sweet freshness. In the base, sandalwood, iris, patchouli and musk settle it into a powdery, creamy warmth.
