What does 51 Essence de Parfum smell like?

It wears at a moderate strength, with moderate longevity and sillage. Most voters pick spring and summer, though autumn and winter are not far behind. Leisure, night out and evening are the occasions named most often, and it also suits business and daily wear. Most voters read it as feminine.

After the brightness of bergamot, the heart adds gardenia, lily of the valley and raspberry, giving the flowers a light fruity sweetness. In the base, vanilla, sandalwood and benzoin settle it into a creamy, sweet footing, while clove and cinnamon add a touch of spice. Roja Parfums 51 (Eau de Parfum) and The Dua Brand Dua Street 51 Femme have a close profile.
