PowderyWhat does Sampaquita (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
It opens with lychee, bergamot, grass and magnolia: a fruity freshness balanced by a green edge. In the heart, jasmine sambac absolute, lily of the valley, water lily, freesia and rose take over, and the scent turns floral and powdery. Vetiver, ambrette seed, musk and moss settle it onto a soft, slightly sweet base.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily, leisure and business wear lead. It mostly reads as feminine. Acqua di Parma Acqua Nobile Magnolia and Anna Sui Electric Whisper have a close profile.
