What does Jade (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

The top pairs mint, star anise, green tea and cardamom for a fresh, green, lightly spicy start. Chinese cassia, jasmine and iris carry the floral heart. The base of vetiver, patchouli, moss and amber is woody, resinous and a little smoky, with the sweetness kept in the background.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick spring and fall, and leisure and evening wear lead the occasions. Votes split between masculine and feminine, so it reads as truly unisex. Moresque Divina Marchesa and Anfar Attar Al Makkah have a close profile.
