What does Carrousel smell like?

Its longevity is rated moderate and its sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin and is quiet. With few votes behind these ratings, they give only a rough idea.

Citrus and carrot lead the top, while chili and eucalyptus add a light spice to that freshness. In the heart, lily of the valley, rose and jasmine build a floral core, and violet brings a powdery softness. Bourbon vanilla, amber and white musk sweeten the base. Paul Emilien Gardénia Tropical and Salvador Dali Daliflor have a close profile.
