What does Caprifoglio smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. The votes are few, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It reads neither masculine nor feminine.

The top notes of jasmine, bergamot and lemon open fresh. In the heart, honey adds sweetness while ylang-ylang, magnolia and lotus soften it into a floral center. The base of benzoin and oakmoss dries it down to something earthy and gently sweet. Dior J'adore L'Eau and Santa Maria Novella Mughetto have a close profile.
