What does Papilefiko smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and spring, with winter not far behind. It leans towards night outs and evenings, and sits comfortably in leisure hours too. Voters read it as closer to masculine.

It opens with citrus notes, cardamom and coriander, fresh and spicy. In the heart, jasmine, artemisia and lavender balance floral and green tones. It dries down onto fir balsam, styrax and moss, a woody, resinous base, while a fruity, sweet side stays in the background.
