What does Shinanay smell like?

It opens with galbanum, blood orange, aldehydes and elemi resin, which read cool and green. In the heart, tuberose, gardenia and magnolia dominate, while mastic and cep add an earthy tone beneath the flowers. The base of oakmoss, opoponax, benzoin and civet leaves an animal, resinous warmth.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter; leisure, night out and evening wear stand out, with business and daytime further behind. Masculine and feminine votes are equal, so it sits between the two.
