What does Chabana smell like?

The notes read as one whole rather than a split between opening and base: the soft floral side of camellia, the fresh, clean air of green tea, the crisp green of fern. Fresh, floral and green accords lead, while spicy, woody, creamy and earthy touches sit behind them and soften and deepen the scent a little.

Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays close to the skin and leaves a quiet trail. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure and daily wear come first, with the office not far behind. Most find it feminine, though a fair share of voters call it masculine.
