What does Bali smell like?

Orange leads the opening, while ambrette seed and myrrh in the heart add a spicy, slightly powdery softness. The base of sandalwood, patchouli and vanilla settles in: the scent turns sweeter and rests on a woody, earthy ground. The overall impression runs from a fresh, floral, fruity start to a sweet, woody finish.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick summer, fall and spring, with winter chosen less often. It leans towards leisure, evenings and nights out, and also suits business and daily wear. It reads neither clearly feminine nor masculine, sitting somewhere between the two.
