What does Chypre-Siam smell like?

It opens with kaffir lime and basil, citrusy and green. In the heart, ylang-ylang and jasmine absolute bring the florals forward; the base of oakmoss, leather, civet and sandalwood gives a woody, powdery, slightly animal ground, softened by benzoin and spices.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and spring, with leisure and evening the most common occasions. Votes for masculine, classic and feminine sit close together, so it doesn't lean to one gender. Guerlain Chant d'Arômes and Coty Complice have a close profile.
