What does Karenina smell like?

The top is aldehydes and bergamot, and the heart is crowded with flowers: geranium, violet, gardenia, Grasse jasmine and May rose among them. The base of vanilla, musk and cedarwood softens it, while clove adds a spicy edge.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and spring, and evening and night-out wear lead the occasions. It reads feminine and classic. Roja Parfums A Goodnight Kiss and Volnay Perlerette have a close profile.
