OrientalWhat does Shalini smell like?
Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin and leaves a quiet trail. The number of ratings is small, so this should be read as a rough guide.
It opens fresh and lightly spicy with neroli, ylang-ylang and coriander. The heart turns floral with tiaré, tuberose and lily of the valley. In the base, musk, vanilla and sandalwood sweeten it and settle it into a creamy, woody ground, with green and earthy touches running through.
