What does Marina de Bourbon smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall, though the other seasons trail it only slightly. It is chosen mostly for leisure, evenings and nights out. Most voters find it feminine, while some call it classic or modern.

The top opens with rose, blackcurrant and ylang-ylang. Ginger, honey, pepper and grape in the heart add a spicy sweetness. Vanilla, tonka bean and amber carry the base into a gourmand, oriental warmth. Mugler Angel (Eau de Parfum) and Chopard Wish (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
