What does Kilauea smell like?
Kilauea has moderate sillage and good longevity. Most voters place it in autumn and spring, and leisure and evening wear lead the occasions. More voters call it feminine than masculine, but a fair share see it as masculine, so it sits comfortably on either side.
The scent is floral and green: jasmine sambac, mimosa and frangipani carry the flowers, while kahili ginger and bergamot add freshness. Sandalwood, benzoin, styrax, vanilla and myrrh bring a sweet, woody, resinous warmth, with earthy and smoky accords staying in the background.
