What does Balinesque smell like?

The top holds cardamom, ginger, cumin, bamboo and cinnamon: the spice comes first, while bamboo and aquatic notes pull it toward something green and cool. In the heart, jasmine sambac, rose, orchid and geranium add a floral weight. The base of sandalwood, musk, myrrh and vetiver finishes woody, lightly sweet and powdery.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, business and daily wear lead the occasions. Close to half of voters read it as feminine, though it stays unisex. Etro Jacquard and Agonist Blue North have a close profile.
