What does Momona smell like?

Cardamom, ginger, mandarin orange and saffron lead the top, with black pepper sharpening the spice. In the heart, jasmine, passion fruit and orange blossom add a floral, fruity softness while clove and cinnamon keep the spice going. The base settles into a gourmand, woody sweetness of caramel, vanilla and sandalwood.

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and spring, and evenings and nights out; summer is the least chosen. Feminine and masculine votes run close, so it reads as genuinely in between. Tiziana Terenzi Velorum and Bvlgari Omnia have a close profile.
