What does NüWa (2013) smell like?

Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evening and night-out wear. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, so it reads as sitting between the two, with a classic feel.

It opens with lemon and bergamot, and a floral heart of rose, jasmine and osmanthus follows. The base is dominated by birch, ambergris, oakmoss and vetiver, with clove, cumin and black pepper adding spice and labdanum and styrax adding resinous warmth. Rochas Femme and Roja Parfums Diaghilev have a close profile.
