What does Makeda smell like?
It wears at a moderate strength, with moderate longevity and sillage. Most voters pick fall and spring, and it leans towards leisure, business and evening wear. Votes split evenly between masculine and feminine, so it sits comfortably in between.
The top opens green and spicy with mastic, mandarin orange, bergamot and pink pepper. Orris butter, osmanthus and rose give the heart a soft floral touch. The base of labdanum, vanilla, tobacco and sandalwood settles into something sweet, woody and resinous. Ormonde Jayne Black Gold and Meo Fusciuni Encore du Temps have a close profile.
