What does Miranda smell like?

It opens with rose, dark chocolate and liquorice up front, while star anise and lily of the valley wrap this gourmand start in spice and a light floral freshness. In the heart, sandalwood, heliotrope and jasmine soften the scent, and in the base vanilla, musk, ambergris and sugar powder leave a sweet, powdery, oriental finish.

Its longevity and sillage are rated good, though these ratings rest on few votes. With its gourmand, oriental character it suits those who like rich, sweet scents. Ahood Alenezi - Bravery (Eau de Parfum) and Joop! Le Bain (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
