Mandarin orange gives a bright, fruity freshness at the start, while jasmine in the heart builds a floral, sweet body. Patchouli underneath adds a spicy, powdery base that softens the sweetness.
Its longevity is rated moderate and its sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin as a quiet scent. The vote count is small, so these ratings are tentative. It is positioned as a women's fragrance. Chopard Jasmin Malika and Van Cleef & Arpels Oriens have a close profile.
