What does Ka Pueo (Perfume) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it sits close to the skin and stays quiet. Few people have voted, so that impression is not firm. It reads neither strictly masculine nor feminine and can be worn by anyone.

The scent is best taken as a whole: jasmine and white gingerlily lay down a floral base, while vanilla and tonka bean make it creamy and sweet. Pinyon pine, Palo Santo, frankincense and oud add a smoky, woody shade, and lavender and vetiver dry the warmth out a little. A faint animal note also shows in the accords.
