PowderyWhat does Carissa smell like?
Jasmine, tuberose, rose and orange blossom make up the floral heart, while green notes keep it fresh. Opoponax and myrrh add a little sweetness, and Australian sandalwood, musk and ambergris leave a woody, powdery base.
Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer, and it suits daytime and evening wear alike. Robert Piguet Douglas Hannant and Dior J'adore Eau de Toilette have a close profile.
