What does Dora the Explorer smell like?

It opens with bergamot, red berries and violet, then softens into night-blooming jasmine, purple freesia and plum at the heart. Musk, amber and sandalwood form the base. The accords are spicy, resinous and earthy, with leathery and animal touches and a chypre structure giving it a dark character.

Voters rate both longevity and sillage as very strong, so a light hand is enough. The sample is small, but the rating is high. It is described as a women's fragrance. Marmol & Son DC Bombshells - Wonder Woman and Marmol & Son DC Women - Catwoman have a close profile.
