What does Athalia smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, then spring, with summer the least favoured season. It leans towards evenings and nights out but also works for leisure and daily wear, and most voters read it as feminine and classic.
It opens spicy and slightly smoky with frankincense and bitter orange. In the heart, orange blossom, iris and cashmeran lead, giving the floral side a powdery, creamy feel. The dry-down settles on vanilla, white musk and amber, sweet and woody. Prada Marienbad and Guerlain Métalys / Metallica have a close profile.
